Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maine

Re: Can I remodel

Your question cannot be answered in the abstract since analysis of real estate matters depends heavily upon the exact wording found in the operative document. I find it curious that there is a right of way that was granted a long time ago before the old house was constructed that is now being enforced. It is possible that the neighbor has forfeited his rights due to non-use of the easement, or due to the fact that there are other less intrusive ways for the land to be accessed that go around the house.

However, specific consultation would need to be done with the Deeds in question and the history of the 2 properties. Feel free to follow up with me directly by email or tel- 207-767-4824 if you so desire.
