Easement (Ingress/Egress)

[HomeLess]

I am currently looking at buying a home. This Property has a defined deed to a parcel "Parcel E" that gives a Ingress and Egress right to the property behind the one I am looking at. The deed also states within the content that parcel E sole legal rights to use this easement.

Now my questions are:
1) Due to the fact I will be paying taxes on this property and the easement is on this property. Do I have the right to use? Reason; This is the only access to the full length of the property and I would like to build an outbuilding off this easement, that will allow me to leverage as easy access to the outbuilding. Mind you I will not block the easement. I simple what to use the property I would be paying for anyway...

2) What are liabilities of this easement? Is this split between the owning property and parcel E that has sole legal rights or would I be liable for everything due to the fact it would be under the owner property?

3) I have the real estate agent from the seller is trying to get me to sign a Addedum to the purchase agreement that the Property is for the exlusive use of Parcel E. What's up with that?

Please help!!!

Obviously, you do not understand what you are getting into. If you do not understand what is happening, then do not sign anything till you and your lawyer look it over.
