I like Rick Schroeder, he's always come across as a good guy and a patriot. Never lived next door to him however...
May the fattest lawyer win!
I mean for his client - ALL the lawyers will win.
Wasn't this an episode of King of the Hill a couple of seasons ago? The same thing happened to Peggy's nasty mom. The ranch hands kept calling Hank cityslicker and Hollywood since the rental place accidentally gave him a Range Rover.
Sounds like one of a number of disputes my dad has had with his neighbors, from time to time. Guys just get like this sometimes.
I thought Rick Schroder was great in "The Lost Battalion."
This probably takes some of the sting out of moving.
Schroder countered that the previous ranch owner and he had the right to cut across his neighbor's land because they had been doing so for decades, according to Clayton Tipping.
If it is true that Schroder (and especially if the previous ranch owner as well) has been allowed to use the road for access in the past then the law may be on Schroder's side in this case, depending on past ownership.
For instance, if the two properties were ever commonly held by one owner, then Colorado easement laws of necessity and/or preexisting use are pretty cut and dried, assuming the easement existed at the time when unity of title was severed.
If on the other hand the two properties were never commonly owned, then a claim for a prescriptive easement would require a showing of continued open, notorious and adverse use of the easement for the statutory period of eighteen years. Schroder's claim that 'they had been doing so for decades' might meet this.
Sometimes an easement ain't so easy.
