ODT Employee Christmas Party

[CIAO BELLA!]

Nobody would show. They were all banned. 😂😂

Did you ask? Sometimes people are more amenable when someone asks permission. Using someone else’s land without getting an “ok” first can get people riled and/or concerned.

Oh yeah. He came out saying that immediately after I showed him property lined.

Seems to be the future nowadays. I live out in the sticks and more and more people are buying land and moving out of big cities. Sucks for me cause city folk are idiots even when they move.

Guy bought 60 ac borders me and we used a road which cut across corner of his property. We've used it for 30 years, he put up a gate and said no more. He won't find too many friends around here with that attitude. Oh well.

I don’t how Georgia views historical easements but in some states if you have been using it for thirty years with the knowledge or consent of previous owners then he can’t stop you.

Most likely he has no right to an easement - https://gandglegal.com/easements-by-adverse-possession-or-prescription/

I can sympathize with both sides to some extent. The problems can come when someone views someone else's land as their own. As a point of pride, neighbors might not want to ask for permission from the new owners. "I've been cutting over on this land since whenever and I don't need to ask to do it." If they'd just talk to the owner, there's a good chance he would give permission, but pride can prevent that. More concerning are the extended family and friends of the trespassing neighbors. "Twenty years ago, Billy Bob said I could hunt here whenever I want." Billy Bob never owned the property or had permission to give for hunting it to begin with, but his friends don't know that. Years ago, I had people show up on my land trying to run me off, claiming it was theirs. It can be tricky to deal with this level of entitlement, but you also don't want to irritate the neighbors unnecessarily, even if they're wrong.

Sorry for the derail.

Correct as I know it. Six years as I remember.

You are right

I thought it was 7 years of proved maintenance and care that you could legally own land. That would probably start all over with new land ownership I would guess though. I’m not a lawyer but I did stay at that motel. Lol 😂
