We have had several neighbors and friends that have had to seek out legal recourse to solve access and boundary disputes. One landowner denied a farmer access and the court went back to records from the mid-1800's to show that the landowner's driveway was actually an old county roadway. The landowner {he is also the one that closed the access} had a garage built at the end of the driveway. The judge told the landowner that he could either allow access to the farmer or he could move his garage off the county road! The landowner opted to allow access!

We own a boundry line along one field that has been in dispute with another family since my G-G-Grandfather bought in the late 1800's. No one is real hotheaded about it, but there have been a lot of words and grumbling about it.

I would say that the original poster needs to contact a good attorney! If the neighbor has access by other means {that is not an undue hardship} then the landowner can close the second access {easement} regardless of whether the other family owned it previously or not.
