Re: Right of Way
You ask the adjoining landowner for an easement (in writing and which can be recorded in the local land records)granting you a right of way over his property for purposes of ingress to and egress from your property.
If this landowner refuses, then you'll need to hire a lawyer to file a petition in your behalf in the local circuit court, requesting that the court grant you such an easement on the basis of necessity.
