Re: My neighbor threatens to sue me
[ QUOTE ]
Yesterday. He is in the process of subdividing his lot and has discovered that he has no valid ingress/egress easement. So he has his attorney throw together an Easement and Joint Maintenance Agreement. He handed it to me on Friday, I gave him comments on on Sunday. He flips out and threatens to sue if I don't sign by Monday. Hmmm...why is he pushing so hard? I check out public records on his property and find that he has taken out a $460,000 loan and used two of his properties for collateral, and the loan matures in less than 6 months. My property may or may not need an easement, but I won't run into a problem with it until I want to sell.

I'm confused. Why would you need an easement? And on what grounds is he threatening to sue you? You don't have to agree to an easement if you dont want to. However, if he has been passing through your land for long enough without you protesting, an easement can become implied.
