Hello,
It is difficult to answer this question without knowing more, and reading the legal documents.
One thing I can say is that vocal or verbal agreements are not enforceable. If the 7 owners have property rights in deeds, it is not likely that those can be taken away. However, it may be that the land can be sold, but the 7 owners still have the right to go over it to get to the lake. Those are some guesses, but to get an opinion you can rely on you need to contact a local attorney.
