Thanks for bringing up adverse possession. Where's Virgilinia?

I guess that's along the lines of prescriptive easement. That's where no deeded ROW exists but the road has been in use for a long time. This is a part of Va law which says there is no such thing as land-locked land. All land has access, as every parcel was once part of a larger parcel that had public road frontage. The trick is to determine which parcel had the frontage and follow the subdivisions to figure out more or less where the easement will go. A judge makes the determination and it can be a costly mess, particularly when there's no existing road. All a part of buying country property, that can get complicated at times.

Your point about neighborly relations is a good one. I got a new neighbor a couple of years ago who wasn't very friendly. Called one Thur. night and wanted to know which day, Fri or Sat, would be better for me to show her son the property line so they could log. My first inclination was to point out that landowners usually call a surveyor for that. I reconsidered, and spent 4 hrs finding the pins. This was just so we could get a little peace of mind over their irresponsible logging. Then they put the place up for sale. Unreasonable price, so we still have the same neighbor. At least they won't be doing any more logging anytime soon.
