I would be very, very careful and get a lawyer versed in teh laws of your state. My family has been in an ongoing legal battle for over 100 years on a piece of property that my dad now owns.

In a nutshell, it is a land locked tract that iwhen my ancestors bought it there were conflicting surveys as to where the boundary should be. It was settled at trial and a judge ordered an easement accrosss farmer X. In the 1950's farmer X's decendents closed the easement. My ancesters went to court and got an injunction stating the validity of the origional court order. The easement appears on no ones deed but is filed with the deeds as a court order in the county clerks office. It has been a source of trial and trouble. It apparently ended in the 1970s when one of my ancestors and one of farmer X's heirs (who were the last direct decendents) got into first a shouting match and then a shooting match. It ended with a death and prison sentence.

Last year the issue reared its head again when we found the easement closed and cable accross it. The land owner was not aware of any easement. It took a court order and the sheriff to open the easemetn again. Also, here, the holder of the easement is under no compulsion to fence any of it.
