What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
I live in a home that has no access to a developed public road and currently get to my property via a path that crosses several properties. Recently the property nearest the developed road has been sold and the new owner has sent a letter to my husband and I that he will no longer allow us to cross his property. There are 8 other homeowners who also use the path, but we are the only one's that he has excluded. This path has been used to get to our house for over 50 years. I am trying to find out if he can single out only our household for non-use of the path. I had thought that if there is agreement that people can have an easement to cross to get to their properties that it was either all of us or none. Is anyone aware of any recourse we might have and any recommendations on how to approach this? There does not appear to be any specific legal documentation for the easement. It has just been 'understood' since it was first built.
