I am contemplating purchasing a 40 acre parcel in northern Wisconsin.
I have found that the parcel has an easement worded like "a perpetual easement to pass over the (legal description of property) for ingress and egress to the lands conveyed.
The 40 acres is next to a road and the easement is granted to the party that owns land behind the 40 I want to purchase.
Since there is no location or width describing the easement, what rights would I have in determining where the ingress and egress can occur?
The easement was placed in the title in 1961 and I am certain it was for logging purposes as the easement grantee is a lumber company.
However, I am concerned due to the vagueness of the easement language, that a road could be built if the grantees land is sold, impacting my use or usage of the land.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
