What is the name of your state? Louisiana
A land owner has a parcel of land for sale that is landlocked.
To get to the parcel, there is a dirt/gravel road running across the parcel of land next to it, which seller does not own.
And on that parcel next to it, which has the dirt/gravel road is a grave yard which is next to the parcel that is for sale.
In other words, the road running across that adjacent parcel, is really to get back to the grave yard but it goes right by the land locked parcel that is for sale!
The seller said a buyer can use that road for access but I cannot find anything recorded that shows any easement at the court house.
The road has a gate across the entrance and is kept locked by the owners of the road going back to the grave yard.
The real estate agent said that at one time there was a church next to the grave yard but it had been moved years earlier. I doubt if the grave yard is for private family members as the names look different on the head stones.
If I should purchase that landlocked parcel, could they refuse to let me use the road as it's not recorded anywhere?
Would I have to get the road recorded as an easement?
