What is the name of your state? Illinois
We own 59 landlocked acres. The original owner of the property kept a verbal understanding to use an access road at the edge of the frontage property to get to the now landlocked property when he sold to a buyer. The buyer built a home and it has been sold twice. We bought the acreage behind the home in 1991 and have used the access road without any problem, until recently. The current home owners have tried to block the access road with a motor home, tree limbs, debris, etc. We believe we have a right to use the access road to get to the property and that they must not block the road from us. Although we own some acreage that joins the landlocked property, there is no other access other than the disputed access road. They believe we must build a road on our other property to gain access. All of the above property is in a rural setting. Help.
