What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oklahoma
The widow of my deceased neighbor has demanded access to cross my property claiming that she has a prescriptive easement. Historically, these neighbors used an old oil production road that crossed my property to reach theirs. There is nothing documenting this in the deed to my property. I bought the property in early 2004 and put up fence and gates approximately a year later. Around 2006, the deceased man had begun solely using another access route whereby he could access his land without crossing mine. This other route crosses land owned by the deceased man’s brother. I think it was given or sold to the brother after the deceased had begun crossing it for access, but I’m not 100% positive of the timing of the ownership transfer of the brother’s parcel.
Can I deny her access on the position that the prescriptive easement to cross my property was terminated when other access became available and used as primary access?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
