[@amrak5028]

Great video coverage. Interesting situation you had. Fourteen different households had to sign off when I made a home purchase in Haywood County, in Western North Carolina. The Patriarch passed away sadly, and her home was forsale. Decades earlier she deeded out 12 separate parcels to many family members in equal shares. My home had to pass 5 other home sites down a shared easement driveway. Homesite/owner (lot#7), erected a gate and locked it closing off access to additional homesites preventing access to their land and homes. All this coming years prior to me finding the home thankfully. Over years of battling in court it was settled that she can retain the gate but it could never be locked or secured, Dividing the family forever. That history came to playout during my transaction, delaying my purchase closing date by over 3 months as I awaited each household to sign off on the sale itself. BTW as the new guy, I did maintain the common use driveway to help ensure peace remained.

[@qualicumwilson5168]

I do not think they should be called "neighbour". His real title is "landowner" and everyone but them has zero right to be on their land. Look at it that way, not the way the person that hired the contractor told them what they wanted to be real. BTW the contractor did not and should not have to go through anything. He should never have started a job without legal right to enter someone else's property. Sounds like the hiring party is a real winner, thinking the real owners were away for a longer period of time and arranging an illegal trespass to occur at that time. NO doubt they thought that possession of a road has some sort of legal standing. If so why are they building another road across another property? The same law applies to the old road the former owner used to access. Just nothing legal so just stop trespassing. I have a feeling all these people may just not talk to each other, forever. PS contact your real estate agent if they did not state there was no access to the property. THAT should have been on page one, initialed and notarized on all legal papers.

[@raphaelszok8561]

Raphael Szok in the state of South Carolina you cannot sell nor buy land that is landlocked either they have access to the state road or there is a recorded deed of a easement.

[@Tac001]

So, it's my understanding that if you are the property owner and you verbally agree to easement access, after 7 years of property (easement) use... the property owner loses his/her rights to the easement property and the non property owner then legally shares easement property ownership with the original owner. So, it may not seem 'nice' to say no to property usage, but as a property owner, being 'nice' can cost you ownership of your property. Now, I'm no lawyer so I could be 100% wrong, and if I am, I'm sure the internet will gladly let me know of my stupidity, but my point is, controlling property access may not be as simple as it might seem. Nice work Jon, good call on cleaning up.

[@anthonycash4609]

I believe you are absolutely right.

[@buckhorncortez]

It depends on the state laws. Your scenario is not the same in every state. In many states, you cannot be prevented from accessing your land and the owner whose land blocks the access has to provide an easement to the land-locked piece of property.

I was a contractor for 30 years before I retired, those are just a couple of the worst. I've also had some great neighbors who will have a place in my heart till the day I die. My daughter trained and became my 'line and grade' at the age of 19, and she looked much younger, as a result people often did a double and triple take when they saw her. On one particular job a 6 year old girl walked by everyday on her way home from school and when she saw my daughter she started stopping. Before long her dad showed up to check out the situation, he turned out to be a teacher at the local school and we all became close friends. I ended up letting her stand on the catwalk of my excavator for hours, (not quite osha), and ask me relentess questions while I dug sewer and water mains, (she barraged my daughter as well). She wore the cutest pink cowboy boots so on my last day in town I took her a cowboy hard hat as a parting gift, by coincidence it happened to be her birthday that day.

One thing I have learned over the years is to not take sides until you have listened to both sides. If I remember the story correctly the customer just bought that property. About 15 years ago I was part of a family argument over the land left to us kids by my mom. I did not live in the area and really did not want the 1/4 acre to start with. I wanted to keep the parcel together and sell it. After almost 6 months I called my sisters husband and asked him to meet me at a local cafe for some hot coffee my treat. We sit and spoke for about 2 hours. We finally agreed I would sell my part to them and would self-finance it. I'm still considered the black sheep of the family and the one being unreasonable. This is why I live almost 8 hours from my sisters.

Not sure about SC but in GA that original drive could be a prescriptive easement if it was originally used to access your customers house and all that could have been avoided. Might have had to go to court to make it final but courts in GA don't allow for property to be landlocked if there was an existing drive that accessed it in the past.

This happens here in the UK also, they call them "ransom strips" where someone else owns the road/access to another piece of land/property. They call them "ransom strips" because basically the property owner who doesnt own the access is basically held to ransom for how much they got to pay to get legal access. There is a formula on how the price is calculated & it's not small change either, it often costs as much as the property you own to get access to said property.

[@jonnwray960]

I don't know which State this problem is happening in, but in most States, laws are clear about "land locked property access. Also, again, depending on the State, if that road/driveway has been in use for X number of years, it is "grand-fathered in and can't be blocked. I've dealt with this same issue in two different States when I owned rental property before I retired. The Court's take a very dim view of people that try to block off a road/driveway. One of my rentals had a gravel road, about a half mile long that had 6 houses on it. The road was beat to hell, full of potholes, flooded every rain storm. I talked with the county road commission about them grading and maintain the road. They claimed it wasn't an Official road because no one had ever applied for it. I hired a attorney to research the issue and what needed to be done. Basically any property owner could apply to the commission to make it a county road. Any objection from neighbors would require a Court hearing. Of course one refused, he said "not one inch" when he was told his property line would no longer be in the middle of the road, new property lines would now start 8' from the center of both sides of the road. My attorney even found courthouse records dating back just after the civil war about this road. It was a no Brainerd for the Cort to rule in my favor, and a couple months later, construction crews/equipment showed up, graded the road, spread new gravel, and then ran a big roller back and forth compacting the gravel. Then on top, the road was officially named by the county, and a street sign was put up.

*The landlocked property owners are begging for problems.* From what I could find, they can usually get a court ordered *"easement by necessity"* if they can show the landlocked property and property needed to cross was once owned by the same person - it assumes the original owner meant for the landlocked property to be useful. However, this doesn't mean that the easement runs on the existing road - the owner can insist the easement take a different route. If 3 or more properties are involved (same original owner), the owner might insist on only a 20 ft. easement running down the property line (10 ft. from each property), or argue the easement should cross a different owner's property. There is also a *"right of way easement,"* which allows passage, but doesn't allow construction of roads, etc. (can be as little as foot traffic). The owners of property(s) that are candidates for an easement might claim the original intent was to leave the landlocked property as a nature, hunting, and/or rudimentary (tent) camping reserve, that could only be accessed on foot. *You shouldn't even consider landlocked property* (unless you own an adjacent property) unless it was inherited, because there's likely a reason the previous owner didn't get an easement. *I think on this property there is more involved - 3 properties:* The driveway to the landlocked property crosses over the property of another person who has been allowing them to use the driveway. It also crosses into another person's property to get around the ravine - that person understandably wanted to road off their property. The owner of the property with the driveway gave permission for them to use it, but was understandably upset to arrive home and see they went further to began clearing his land. *The owner of the landlocked property should have* tried to buy an easement, and barring that, gone to court to get an "easement by necessity" before performing construction.

Ouch! Oh well, a verbal easment is about as binding as a verbal warranty... Not at all, lol.

I understand some people can cause problems. I did work with a logging crew. We would move in a place a the guy who was in charge of the timber deed would have everything marked out for us. So we went in and started hauling logs out pretty quick. I ran the loader and people would watch all the time. You could tell the trouble makers by the way they waved their arm and shouting. Didn't bother me because it's was so funny when they demanded me to shut down. But I would be like I don't work for you and stay back.

I watched another video from a KZbinr that I am sub'ed to... and he was helping an older woman move a potbelly pig off her property. WHY? Because the new neighbor noticed that she had a pig. So they contacted the county and found that the area they live in (very rural), didn't allow livestock. The gal had gotten this pig when it was only a few months old. It wasn't suppose to get much bigger than a medium sized dog...but it did. This was her pet. She didn't have a dog, cat, or a husband. You would think living out in the "sticks" that folks may have critters. If I had a neighbor that had critters, I would LOVE IT. I would rather listen to a rooster all day long than sirens or cars with loud exhaust rip up and down the main thurofare

An easement is a legal contract a verbal easement is worth the piece of paper it’s written on … usually an easement can be bought if it conforms to the community bylaws on location and the owner is willing to sell

[@TractorWrangler01]

If it's land locked the courts will give him an access rd. You'll be back.

how do all? sound of that excavator is like music to my ears. second gang in tas. to use an excavator to bark and load logs, [ 1985 ]. just a thought, perhaps drop notices into homes down stream in case they draw their water from the creek before it gets muddy so they are prepared. taztez

[@willardpinson1197]

would you want someone driving through your yard ?

[@seandurgin]

I’m confused, how many easements are you dealing with? I thought you were moving the driveway off their property?

[@tyler7433]

yea but they were using the adjacent property as access/laydown for the construction, instead of living within the Easement for the property they were working on. verbal's aren't worth the wind wasted on them especially when your not dealing with the actual property owner, mainly because they can state they agreed to provide TCE (temp construction easement) on terms heavily in their favor that you may have never discussed and you have nothing to say otherwise because its a he said he said deal .

[@c.w.hughey2728]

YOUR ARE DOING IT RIGHT!

[@dustinbasurto7371]

This would be a constructive easement in my state. Once given it passes to the next owner's, written or not.

[@MyTractorGuy]

We’ve found using geogrid in some culvert pipe installs to be quite useful. Cut out what we can put the geogrid down and backfill with a lift of good fill dirt then place the pipe. Geogrid runs up the sides and folds over to extend under part of the road. Anchors it nicely. Tough deal on the easement crap. I had a large clearing we had to postpone because the neighbor threatened to use physical violence on us. While we could have had the sheriffs force them to use the legal easement (in the deeds) we chose to not go that route because we knew our equipment would get vandalized while we were gone. So the owner is trying to purchase an additional easement now. Really stinks how ignorant some folks are.

Before y'all got there, many levels of wrongness existed! Hope you get compensated!

Quick add on , if I may, never, ever , buy prop that does not border the county right of way.

Allowing permanent driveway use can backfire if future structures are wanted nearby. However courts frown on landlocking.

[@richardspees841]

Interesting how things are different from state to state and such. Here in Hawaii, if you have land-locked properly the surrounding property owners cannot prevent you from accessing your land. I'm not sure of all the details, but it seems like such a no-brainer thing that you have an automatic easement to access your property. I have heard cases wheret the property owner of the land you have to cross made things difficult, but they cannot block you.

[@AndyM.]

AHHHHHHHHHH! DRAMA!!!!! People are funny like that!!!!

[@peggymillion1797]

In Virginia, I am buying a tiny house on a land locked piece of property with a right of way to use the neighbor's driveway to access my property. The neighbor lady tried to take the right of way back, but could not do it legally. The courts told her that once a right of way is given it is permanent. She tried to do this with an earlier home owner that she didn't get along with

I feel for you. The more people that are involved, the bigger the chance of a lawsuit. Which part of the family owns the road, the old folks or the son that gave them permission?
