My question involves an easement in the state of: Tennessee
in April of 2013 a logging company bought the landlocked property adjacent to ours to log 120.61 acres. Without our knowledge, when he had his Deed drawn up he add permenant easement rights using our 1/4 mile long driveway and the property off the side of our drive way. We just found this out two days ago. He logged the property for one year, then left, on occasion his step son will visit to go hunting, we are in a very rural area. Now he has listed the property for sale and has the for sale sign off the side of our driveway advertising the easement he unlawfully gained as the main entrance, the main entrance is described to be on another road on the oposite end from us.
In researching all deeds of sale dating back over 50 years , ones associated with our property and the 120.61 acres beside us and we found that there has never been a easement attached to our property by any other land owner in the past.
This guy just add the easement in his deed along with a description of the easement and when asked not to trespass after the logging he told me he had a deeded easement and could do what he wanted anywhere from the north side of my drive way from the public road...
I had a lawyer tell em to write him a letter notifying him that we are not intending to honor his created easement and protect our property.....
I have all the deed and no deed on record until he create his own.
