Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia
Right of Way dispute
In 1978 I obtained five acres of undeveloped VA land including a right-of-way shared by a neighbor. The neighbor told me I had no ROW and to stay off his land, including taking a shot at a friend of my son. The man later obtained a 'deed' that he owned the property. I have so much documentation that my head swims with it. As it stands, I cannot get to my land and cannot sell it. I have a buyer but naturally he needs to be able to get to the land as well. The neighbor is firm. Is this the sort of thing that can be handled by a letter from an attorney with the proper documentation attached? Or will a court appearance be necessary? If so, will I have to appear myself in court?

Re: Right of Way dispute
You may well have to appear in court for a hearing for which you will need a lawyer.
But we're jumping ahead here; first get the lawyer, one who is knowledgeable regarding the law of real property in general and easements(and ROW's) in particular and who practices in the area where the land is located and who will be able to review the various documentation associated with the dispute and advise you, accordingly.
