Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Utah
Shared Well Agreement
We have water rights approved by the state that come from a well located on our neighbors property. We are in the process of selling our property and the new owner's lender requires a shared well agreement. Can the neighbors refuse to let the new owners access the well for maintenance or can they refuse to let them have water from the well?

Re: Shared Well Agreement
Probably not, you have likely acquired an easement which could be formalized in court if they refuse to cooperate.
