Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Louisiana
Right of Way
We bought 2.5 acres of land from my f-i-l. Next to this lies 14 acres of farmland for which he inheritied. No form of easements were ever granted or drawn up in the bill of sale. We have verbally told him that we give permission only to him & the farmers to pass over a designated area. He plans to bring us to court demanding that we give him a right of way. He wants to allow whomever he wishes to travel this passage and do physical work to the land. And now all of a sudden he wants to pull a mobile home on his property next to us and begin residing there. Of course this is all out of spite because we won't give him a right of way. We do however allow him a right of passage to check on his land. Please advise.

Re: Right of Way
If the closest public road requires that he travel over your property, then he has a right to use that route and to allow anyone who he wishes to use it to reach his property.
