Re: [RC] trail use - heidi larsonhttp://www.cbenson.com/ I took a real estate law class a few years ago Marlene, and this guy was the professor, he seemed pretty intelligent and even discussed some cases similar to yours. He used to give advice over the phone but I'm not sure if he still does that. You might give him a try. . o o o o o_ \ \____ o_ \_\ (*)~(*)\_______/ / \ \______/ / \_______/\ /- o-- /_/ \ / / \ / / o o o-- / / \ o o heidi larson --- On Wed, 8/20/08, Sisu West Ranch <ranch@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Sisu West Ranch <ranch@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: [RC] trail use To: "Marlene Moss" <marlene@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wednesday, August 20, 2008, 10:23 PM The term is "adverse possession". The period of time varies from state to state. The public swimming beach near our place in WI had an access where no right of way had been recorded. After a lengthy court battle the public got the right of way. In WI you had to prove 25 years of continuous use in this particular case. In NJ during the 30-40's the Prudential Insurance Company building featured a public walk way through it (with no stores). The company would close this to the public one business day every 7 years to prevent loosing the right to close it at any time. Ed PS. Not legal advice, your mileage may vary, avoid excessive use, professional BS'er.
