What is the name of your state? ME
We have a neighbor with a house to the East of ours. She has an additional piece of property behind ours that although it connects to her own property, has a right-of-way on the west side of ours. This right-of-way is 16' wide and completely wooded. A couple of days ago she sent someone in & they started cutting the trees down. She had not mentioned anything to us in the last three years about doing anything with this access, so we were surprised to wake up to the sound of a chainsaw. She told the friend that is clearing the land that she would pay him with the wood he cuts.
My question is if she is required to let us know in advance if she plans to cut the trees in the right-of way (or do anything else for that matter) & also as to who owns these trees? She has stopped the cutting at this time until we find out what the law is in this situation.
Thank you for the information.
