What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oklahoma
Many years ago my grandfather purchased 10 acres of land for the taxes owed, $10.00. He as well as my grandmother have since passed but the land is still in my grandfathers name. The land however is land locked, one individual has purchased over 6000 acres in the area which included all the land surrounding this particular parcel so we have no access to it whatsoever. We would like to be able to get to the land but are unsure what we need to do. I've read where we could file an easement petition with the court, is that something we could do on our own or do we need an attorney. We've offered to sell the land to the guy that owns all the property around us but he won't buy it. He uses it and i guess figures if we can't get to it there's nothing we can do.
Thanks!
