I live in an older rural subdivision (no covenents, no road maintenance, etc.). I and a few others here have legally recorded easements through private property, through a State section, and on the roads in the subdivision to our properties. However, someone has just bought several lots that have no subdivision easements. The subdivision developer years ago "forgot" to give himself easements for the lots he kept. They have remained vacant. However, he has sold them ("as is") to an outfitter who plans to bulldoze the lots and run hunting operations from them.
Is it possible to stop him from accessing his property without my spending a ton of money on a legal fight? The law says he has no access--so how does that get imposed?
My property is not directly impacted but the rest of us play by the rules. Can this for-profit business person just ignore them?
