Access to my land

[beaslhe]

What is the name of your state?Georgia When my my mother passed away I inherited some land, this land can only be accessed over another parties property. We have been accessing our land across this property for 10 years
and have never been stopped. We use this land for cutting wood, hunting,
school projects, etc. (it is only land, we do not live there) I do not know if we have a right-of way or easement, but thought that I had read that if we
has been accessing the land for over 7 years and not stopped it becomes the
legal easement. Is this true? Can they stop us from accessing our land?
I cannot spend money to fight this, what are my rights and how do I get them?

You have been correctly informed that 7 years is the time period requirement in Georgia. What you have not been informed of is what other requirements that must also exist during this same 7-year period.

Your best course of action would be to consult a real estate attorney, producing all documents that you rely on, photographs of your usage of this easement, and the names (addresses and phone numbers) of persons having used this same easement during the entire seven years of its use.

Can they stop you from using this easement, you ask?
The answer is "yes".

Can they do so legally?
That answer can only be given to them by a court having jurisdiction over the subject matter.
