Re: Prescriptive Easement

More | Report Post

Thank you Susan for your response. Unfortunately, we live
outside the city limits in the unincorpprated part of the
county. My neighbors are all for helping out on this situation
and will be involved all the way, but most are elderly and/or
work, so are unable to help with leg work. They chose me to see
what we could do and I happily agreed. It's just a lot harder
than I expected--ha

I suppose at this point I should seek help through a RE Lawyer.
Just had hoped to not have to, due to the finance part-but it
must be done. Thanks again for trying to give me some info, it
was much appreciated.
