[quote=ScottGem]Why should they have to condemn the land? They seem to have a recorded easement to use the property. They just need to get someone to enforce it.

Condemn in this case is a legal term to give one the right to make changes or develop. Much like a municipality condemns land to enforce imminent domain. Another term is blighted which allows the governing body to take it over. It really doesn't matter the real condition of the land just more legalese. I may be wrong but in Indiana it is illegal to landlocked some one's property and there are consequence to pay for blocking the easement. I too figure this is a slam dunk and am awaiting an update, but I know how slow the wheels of justice turn.

I understand what condemn means. I'm just saying that's unnecessary. Maybe if the easement wasn't recorded, but as long as it is, all that's needed is to enforce it.

we have deeded easement to our property our neighbors have never stopped us from coming in or out until we said we were going to be moving up.we have owned this property before they ever bought and built on theirs,we have trailer,power,septic electric,pay taxes and now cannot even get in or out because of a new gate they erected.they have not given us anything in writing and have not responded to any of our certified letters.No one seems to want to help everyone says its a civil matter.Why should we have to pay out all costs when we have legal deeds to access our land? Who can help?:confused:

Sounds like your going to have to get a lawyer and fight them on this one.
