A: Your property is landlocked, you made an agreement for an easement over your neighbor's land, and now the neighbor is preventing you from accessing your property? Without more information, we cannot guess your next best move. How long have you owned the landlocked parcel? Was it once part of the neighbor's parcel? Did you purchase the parcel from the neighbor? Did the same seller sell you your parcel that sold the neighbor theirs? How did you access your parcel before a year and a half ago? Did you pay the neighbor for the access? Did you have a written agreement? And, if so, was it prepared by a lawyer and/or recorded at your county clerk's office?
