Besides all the good points brought up by the others, in my case the desput is who actually controls the easment and who is responsible for maintenace and in my case snow removal. The easment on my property says it is to be split 50-50. He over winters his cattle on the land served by the easment. My land is rented to another farmer and he only needs to use the first 400 ft. of a 1295ft. easment to get to my farm land. The first 400 ft. runs along side my son's property. After that he can drive on the farmland. The guy suing me wants $2200 for gravel and snow removal covering the last 5yrs even though nobody besides him uses it all winter. I've been adding up my cost on this strip of land. Beside cost of the land itself, I have lost $320 in crop rent, paid $210 in taxes, paid $314 in interest. All of this so he has the right to use my land and then charge me to keep it open for him to drive on. Oh ya, he says in his lawsuit that the $2200 is only 25% of the actual cost. I calculated that at that rate it comes out to $5040 per mile per year to maintain it his way. So, also consider these types of expenses before you even worry about somebody else driving on it. What will it cost you after you own it?
