What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oklahoma
We and our neighbors have had access to our properties for many years via an easement owned by a third party. Three years ago the neighbors decided to have the access road paved and requested that we pay half which we did. We continue to split the costs of maintenance.
If we decided to sell a portion of our property that could only be accessed via this now paved easement road would the buyers be responsible for any costs associated with the original paving or only future upkeep?
Also, could access ever be denied to our properties by the owner of the easement?
