Until all three owners agree to abandon that easement.

It's still private property that does not allow anybody and their brother to use the easement. Example the RR owns a 50ft easement on my property. Only the RR is allowed to access it, in fact the RR allowed ATT to run a line on it and all the property owners sued the RR for misuse of the easement and won. Anybody other than official RR use is trespassing. I also had another yard that had a drainage easement, same thing. Just because a deed says easement that doesn't necessarily mean public access.

I think the important thing to understand is if you share property with a neighbor (very common on farms and condos) you don't have exclusive ownership over it and you don't have the same property rights. That's why there are condo boards (HOAs) and Village Code Enforcement boards. The alternative is for the city to just take the property for themself and they will handle the maintenance and taxes go up. But by sharing the small bit of property amongst 3 owners, you don't have to have the government running all of the streets (which is very hard in rural areas).

[@gregphillips1998]

[@SteveBakerIsHere]

@@jackhall729 Some share of property taxes you mean? I'd agree with that EXCEPT that by using the easement, you're not denying the owner the use of it too...perhaps somewhat limiting their kinds of use. But typically, the existence of an easement on a property does devalue it somewhat - and that means that the owner is paying less property taxes for that reason. On very large properties (like farms) where the land price figures heavily into the amount of taxation, the percentage of the land that's covered by the easement is going to be a negligible proportion of the tax bill anyway...and on small properties (like people's houses) the tax is almost entirely calculated on the value of the house itself - and again, the easement doesn't really factor much into it. So, no - I have never offered to pay any of the owners taxes.

More difficult, but not impossible. My State of Colorado you have the legal right to access your property through another. If you were setting something up to split property then to be able to sell it you would have to create an easement you can not just sell 100 acres that has no access. That in Colorado is illegal. The person that has the property (at this point access was probably created 100 years ago) can use that old road/trail and improve it and use it to access their property. Where in CO we have had legal battles is a property owner says that other property should take a different route to get out (usually new folk moving to an area not understanding how things work). They usually loose in court because in the end the easement was being used for 150 years why would the locked property owner need to spend money to create a new right of way. Where this is tried more here is a person will go buy property in the National Forest, the USFS has a road going through and that city slicker then puts of gates and blocks. Now the Forest service has to spend your tax dollars to fight that property owner and it can take many many years. I ran into a case of this on a motorcycle ride.
