**A: have an attorney review the deeds to both properties. There is no way we can answer your question over the internet without reviewing the terms and conditions of deed restrictions.

There is no restrictions in the deed, the deed states that he has a right of way on their land but he has never put the driveway in and used the existing one

**A: the right of way is possibly considered a restriction or an encumbrance on the deed/land.

oK the right of way that was given on the deed itself is not being used they are still using the other that cuts through the lawn, they have not put in a driveway where the deed states it should be, can access to the existing one on her land be blocked legally
