Son has power of attorney . He gave an easement to the neighbor of the land to use the property (fishing) and land maintenance but one of the other co-owners disagree . Since an easement was granted can the other owner who contest forbid the neighbor from entering the property

When someone passes away, a power of attorney is no longer effective. The Will controls and all three children of the deceased will subsequently own, as long as all accept the succession. The children need to open succession to effect the change in title from the deceased person's name to... View More 
Attempting to sell my house located across street. Way too much vehicular traffic for a rural dead end street. Subduvision covenants classify lots as residentual only. What legal action can be taken. Lots are zoned r1 by the parish.

If it is rural, you may not have a property management company enforcing the restrictions. If that is the case, you may still be able to rely upon municipal/parish zoning. If the neighbor is running a business, with traffic, out of a residence, zoning/code enforcement may be able to put a stop to... View More
I am interested in obtaining a lease on a "land locked" parcel of land (A). The parcel has another parcel (B) parallel to parcel A that separates it from a public road. Parcel B has a state maintained utility line that transverses both parcels. Does this utility servitude allow legal... View More

Normally, yes. Funny to see this question pop up, as Investigative Journalist, Lee Zurik, just did a piece on a Parish Government doing something similar (Plaquemines, I believe). Caveats come into play, if there is a prior servitude in Entergy's favor, if a survey actually designates the... View More

Your permitting department should be able to shed light on this inquiry for you. While the city or parish may not necessarily require that you use a specific source, you will find out if water is provided by the city/parish, or if you need a well and septic tank. Then, if that is the case, you... View More
Good Afternoon My father has been deceased for almost 34 yrs. While visiting family, my uncle questioned me about receiving my fathers royalties. I informed him I was unaware of what he was talking about. He began informing me that our family purchased a lot of land and we leased part of the land... View More

I would suggest you speak with an attorney as soon as possible. Time delays may apply to limit how far back you can go to collect your father's portion of the royalties. In other words, the longer you wait, the less you may be able to receive in past royalties. As far as cost, attorneys can... View More
