Re: Easement rights

Vickie,

Your rights will depend on the language of the easement rights when you purchased the property.

It sounds like you may have a claim for adverse possession with regard to the other easements, if you and your neighbors have openly been using the other easements for 7 years or more. Any covenants or restrictions should be recorded with the deed to the property.

You may call 305-984-5748 if you have any further questions.

Thank you,

Tonia
