Right of Way Question

    Hello All,

    I am just wondering if you can shed any light on this right of way issue as i an not sure what to do with it.

    I inherited a farm from my late uncle. One field contains a passage that allows a relation of mine a shortcut to other land he owns. He has been using it for a number of years.

    This passage was never transferred from my uncles farm to this relation of mine, it being a gentlemans agreement at the time i think to make life easier for my relation.

    Can he now try to claim this passage through adverse posession or what is the story?

    Your thoughts/comments would be much appreciated.


    Regards,


    Chevy RV

    Is he claiming the passage or the right to travel over it?

    One answer would be to contact solicitor.

    As other person is a relation, then you might like to maintain a good relationship. if that is the case, then perhaps you could consider giving him a licence or a right of way to access his/her land. Consult solicitor as well.

    Remember though, that the only certainty in law, is expense and great expense at that. You could also incur wrath of relative. We all only live once in this life and a happy life is better than a horrible life.
