What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? When I bought my house 24 years ago, it was discovered that I own the 9 feet of my neighbors driveway. I signed an easement giving them permission to use the driveway as a driveway and to stay 5 feet away from my house since the cement driveway is the only thing separating our houses. Since then, the property has been sold to new people and my situation has changed. I want to tear down my house and put up another one. Is there a way to do away with the easement and take control of all of my lot?
