Our property includes an ingress, egress easement for use by two separate families to some adjoining property. In the easement agreements, one reads :a Grantee specific name, his personal representatives, successors or assigns, a perpetual and non-exclusive easement; the other reads (5) specific names of individuals, during ea. and all of their lifetimes a non-exclusive easement. The road was completly blocked off by one of the Grantee's and relocated on his own property leaving the easement no longer needed or used. The Grantees are willing to permanently give up their rights to this easement. Legally, what type of document or letter is required to permanently take the easement off our title and do we have to use an attorney?

You do not have to use an attorney but should. It wouldn't be prudent not to. The document is a legal document and must be recorded on title on ALL the affected properties.
