| As a landowner, I am pressed by the neighbor behind me to grant her an easement for egress/ingress to her property. She originally filed lawsuit, claiming my driveway next to my house was a county road (County said no!) She wanted it anyway. I built her a road to use, back of my property, straight to hers, straight, 25' wide, used by her timber cutters last year. She then wanted easement agreement for 60'. I said no way. I offered to sell her 45' easement (2100' long). She said she wouldn't pay fair price. Lastly, 2 months ago, I signed and offered easement agreement, GIVING her the 25' private easement for herself, her family and family partnership to use, and for their timber cutting. Now, she says she wants it Non-exclusive. My question:
Since I am signing and GIVING her 2 acres of my land, do I have to give her what she wants? Or can I say, "here it is, 2 acres. Take it."?
This is in Alabama |
