What is the name of your state (only U.S. law) PA
There are two homes in 1 lot next to my home. Both homes are owned by 1 cousin. Cousin 1 plans on selling the rear home to Cousin 2, with the stipulation that the rear home gets a new water line, seperate from the front home's line. The rear homes water line runs through the front home's water line. The owner of the front home(Cousin 1) no longer wants the rear home(Cousin 2) to share a water line, and is insisiting on the rear home to get it's own water line. The rear home (Cousin 2) has 2 choices, dig up the alley behind our houses, and connect to the water line at the end of the alley, or dig up probably 1/2 of my property (including my fence/shurbbery) to connect it to the front streets water line.
The question is, can I tell Cousin 2 no, without having to worry about any issues with easements, or legal issues down the line. Seeing as she can keep her current configuration, or dig up the alley.
