Ingress,Egress and Utility Easement

[roccadelle]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

my question refers to a private road easement problem. Our easement has been stolen by overlaying an easement onto our easement road.

They sold land on the west side of our easement with no west side access from our road.

my question, they have recorded a paper of the ingress,egress easement.

How should I write a letter to cancel out theirs, and have ours recorded? Just to have it on record that we reject theirs.

HUH?

What, exactly, IS of record as regards your easement?

Yeah, this is very unclear.

Given you mention both ingress/egress and utility easements, you should be aware that one can have separate easements for both over the same area, and they can benefit different people.

It is also unclear whether it is your property being affected or just your easement over someone else's property.

Someone can't get an easement over your property without permission. They may be able to get a second easement in the same location as your easement, if the burdened property owner agrees to it and it doesn't interfere with your use of the easement.

Aha, the old easement over an easement trick.

Review title reports, surveys etc.

Utility Easement Issue

I too have a question about service work in Santa Rosa county in Florida. Can a privately owned power company come onto your property and destroy something or an item without prior notification of coming onto your property or is there a law that stipulates they have to give you so many days to move said item or correct it if a right-of-easement exists.....even if the property is in front of their transformer box about 2 feet away? Can they just destroy it?


Do you know anything about clearance laws or easement issues? If so, does the power company get 10 feet of clearance from their transformer in the front AND the back on your property or just the back?!

We moved onto our property 6 years ago and this company did not access their box for 5 years and suddenly showed up and cut down one of our bushes without our permission or notification! The bush was on the land prior to our purchase and has been there for God knows how long and all of a sudden the power company wants 10 feet of clearance and wants the bush gone and has cut it twice without our permission - they paid damages once but has show up and mowed it down with a chain saw this time. Is there any law which states they can not damage this bush! Please help! They are killing our bush that we have maintained for over 5 years!
