Q: When I bought my house the previous owner put in a common driveway.
I was in the process of putting my own driveway in but before I finished he blocked the common driveway. This caused me to get a truckload of stone that day so I would have a way out of my property. Doing this caused the work we did do on the driveway to be damaged by the stone truck because it was still too soft for the weight of the truck. I need use of the common driveway.
A: Go to the Register of Deeds in your county and gather all ownership information on those properties. File suit in either General Sessions or Circuit Court.

A: Suing neighbor for an easement by necessity does not look good. Search both titles for any easements of record. If none, then you will probably have to purchase a joint and mutual easement drafted by an attorney.
