Q: I live on s private rural road with 6 others homes, all homes were sold with an easement restriction. All to provide 5ft
Of your property to utility an drainage , one homeowner says he does not have to give the 5ft cuz he owns it an that is where the water drainage ditch is located.. It has been 20 years an it needs maintenance due to erosion on road.. Does he legally have to give use the 5ft so that we can repair the road.. Such as over growth in drainage ditch..
A: Go to the Recorder of Deeds for your county, look at his title and see if there is an easement granted or if one is separately recorded (look at yours to know what you are lookingfor)
