Land locked house?

the survey shows an 30 foot easement, but at the courthouse there is no easement on file for the original transfer of the land, it was from father to son. The easement that shows on my survey papers are from the original land owner to the county. He didn't make an easement to his son. Does this mean I can't travel over his personal property? There is a road the son used, but nothing on record at the courthouse giving a right of way.

Land locked house?
Order a title insurance policy or look at the one from when you bought it. It may have been overlooked in the history of the chain of title. This is what title insurance is for.
Reply:You are looking in the wrong place. It is on the title of the landowner, not your title. It will be refered to there as ingress and egress, not "easement".





It transfers over, it can not be removed, even by mutual consent.
