What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MN
We are the second house of three along a shared driveway (easement). We share costs of repair and plowing 47/47/6 according to a document filed with the city when these lots were developed in the late 90's.
The issue is : The neighbor at the end of the shared driveway believes the shared driveway includes what we are thinking is his personal driveway, including all of his parking areas and up to his garage and front step. As a result, he wants us to share in 47% of the plowing of what we consider his personal driveway. Don't all three of us have personal driveways that branch off of the shared driveway? We figured out the additional cost to us is at least $200 per winter season.
What is the definition of shared driveway? Personal driveway?
I need some hard legal logic because he is thoroughly convinced on his viewpoint.
Thank you.
