Q: Nebraska cattle trail, easement how to document and liability of damages
Use over 50 years, no access and consent withdrawn.
A: If there is a valid easement, then normal use pursuant to the legal easement may be allowed, even if it does create some normal wear and tear (to some extent). If you want to get rid of a valid easement, you may have to buy the rights, the same as you would other types of real estate interests. There may be ways to challenge the validity of the easement or to dispute damages despite a valid easement. You need to speak with a real estate attorney about your best options.
