HI there,
We currently access our property via an easement - I understand we are the dominant holders of the easement. Our neighbour whom owns the land on which the easement is held wants to split the road which we use to access our property into two (it's his property) so we can use one road and he can use the other. He wants to do this and wants us to maintain the road that we use to access our property. I am not particularly keen on this idea, as the easement is not huge and it doesn't make sense to split in in two and I get the feeling he is up to something. In addition, it doesn't feel right for us to have to maintain property that we do not own. Can anyone advise why he may be doing this and who should be maintaining the easement? It's a right to access for us and is the only way to access our property. He initially proposed he build a road on state land so we can access our property which would be completely against the law obviously and we are just trying to work out exactly why he is proposing to split the road and access and what our rights are as the dominant easement holders? Many thanks in advance for anyone who can provide advice to us!
Regards,
Sarah
