Re: property line driveway
If you purhased title insurance review the title policy. If not, you could call the closing attorney and ask for a copy of the title search and that should indicate any easements or agreements.
If you were represented by your own attorney at closing, ask him for the information.

There should have been a title search that would have disclosed this impediment. Whether such a license or easement or some legally enforceable right of way exists is something that needs to be researched.
A mere assertion that something is does not alone make it so.
