If a landowner has an easement through my land, to access his land; can that landowner grant a hunt club permission to use that easement as they please to hunt his land?

I would have to read the easement in question to be able to answer this. Take what you have to a local lawyer and have them look it over.
They've been there for well over 50 years now and they provide shade and privacy for our yard. We haven't had any issues until new city folk came in and started disturbing land and removing things around the tree line. I just want to keep the trees.

It depends on whose side of the line the trees are on. If the trees are on their property, they can remove them, and there is nothing you can do about it. If the trees are on your property, then they are not allowed to interfere with your property.

My sister and her husband are buying property for a very good price if they somewhat rush the deal. This property has 45 acres. We plan on buying 5 of those acres and building a home. We also plan is to give them the down payment they need to make the purchase. Which pays for the land we're... View More

What you are asking is easily doable. I suggest that you join in the purchase, get the 5 acres surveyed off of the larger tract, and make sure the bank does not include it in its mortgage documents. Then the seller deeds you the 5 acres, and your sister the 40 acres, with the bank loan being... View More

Cannot understand your facts stated. But hire a competent attorney to draft an Affidavit of Heirship, which will record a source of title. Then you need a Quit Claim Deed from the other heirs over to you. If they will not convey, you may have to file a Partition Suit.

A lot split is not a do it yourself project. You will need an attorney and a surveyor. I would also recommend an attorney to do the deed correctly.
However, there are very good reasons for not doing lifetime gifts, and your dad should talk to you and estate planning attorney about that.
lived on and the only access to that piece of land is down my private path and that sibling sold her piece of land to a company without letting us know do we have to grant that company access to that piece of land or do they have to find another access

That possibly dominant tract probably has an Easement either by Prescription, express grant, or possibly by necessity. Hire a competent attorney to perform a title search of the adjoining properties, examine survey plats and/or tax maps, and provide his opinion. If you obstruct or destroy the... View More
are several handicap spaces. My car was parked in one of them when it was towed. I have a handicapped displayed on my rear view mirror. Is that a legal tow?

According to you - you need a sticker in addition to a handicapped plate or placard. If you didn't have a sticker it is likely a proper tow.

You do not need a lawyer to prepare the deed, or to record it, if you competently know how to do it yourself.
I own some land. I know someone that has promised to buy it. Is there any type of document that could be drawn up that allows me an advance of the price the buyer has promised before time of sale so that at time of sale the amount would be less en bloc. E.g. promised 30,000. I ask to have 5,000... View More

Probably. Have you already entered into a written sales contract? You state that the potential buyer "promised to buy it." In North Carolina, all contracts or agreements to sell or convey land must be in writing to be enforceable.

I moved from Philadelphia to Charlotte with my family after a friend of a friend promised to rent one of her rental properties to me. She could not give me a lease yet because she had a tenant moving out but she said I could move in as soon as they were out. So I transferred my job and uprooted my... View More

Leases for less than three years do not have to be in writing to be valid in North Carolina. However, since she specifically stated that she was not giving you a lease yet, it would likely be hard to prove you had a lease. There are many properties to rent in Charlotte, so its harder to show... View More
