Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

Re: Private Road

You may be able to do so, however, if the road has been in existence for a long period of time, and the property on which they are working has been serviced by that road there is probably an "easement" that belongs to the property on which the company is working. An "easement" allows someone to use your land for a limited purpose. You should check both the survey and your policy of title insurance to determine the status of the road, before putting up any signs. Ultimately, it may be possible to obtain an injunction and/or compensation for the damage to your road, depending upon the legal status of your road.
