If I am Emancipated, Can I Live With my Grandmother?
I have a question about emancipation. I’ve read about all the requirements for this emancipation to take place, that’s where the problem comes in. I’ve been offered a home at my grandmother’s residence, and I’ve lived there before, so I know I’ll be happy and treated well there. I don’t meet all the requirements for this legal action to take place, so I was wondering if I could be emancipated to my grandmother’s home.
Can my Neighbor Build a Driveway on Our Ingress/Egress Easement?
The developer plans to build a concrete driveway on the easement (Easement “A”), and place his utility lines along side, on the our- property side of the driveway. In addition to laying out the concrete drive, he plans to create a large entryway where the easement joins the public road and landscape to further (visually) associate the entire easement, as well as his untouched and unused 15 ft. wide, 200 ft. long flag pole, with his property, thus expanding his property footprint and increasing its market value while significantly diminishing ours. I have contacted the law office of the attorneys who drafted the document, and they refuse to clarify the intent of their language. Do the words “ingress and egress” mean that my neighbor can pour a driveway on the easement?

My Association Discontinued Snow Removal on a Utility Easement, What Should we do?
At some point in time a previous lot owner cleared a path along this easement and now it is used by the neighborhood as a road. Our association has notified the current property owners that they will no longer provide snow removal as this is private property and not an established road (county assessor confirmed). Now, if the county assessors records show there is no established road and only two lots with a utility easement then can the current property owners claim a grandfather clause and demand continued snow service as they have received in previous years?”

How to Handle Issues With Incorrect Property Lines and Septic Systems
Last year our neighbor asked us when we were going to move our septic system. He said that he would never be able to sell his property with our septic on it.
