I think you missed it.Subscribed to watch for the crash!
I really wish that this version showed when someone gets banned.
Good. He was being an ass.He Is Banned
What you are talking about here are two different things/issues so why the hell are you trying to mud water that have nothing to do with each other.
Is absolutely stupid, idiot thinking.
You think your trying to prove something, think about what you say next time. And there is no percentages in mineral rights its either you have them or not. Try reading next time, maybe some survey law might help you, make sure its current.
This post has value.Good. He was being an ass.
That said, I will proceed with a bit of temerity.
He did have a point. If you give someone the right to cross your property regulary, they can claim an easement. I have a former on the job instructor who had a 40 acre pasture next to her house. One day, a neighbor started driving across her pasture (no, she didn't have enough money to have it properly fenced) to go to the back of his property. What was odd was that there was no entry to his property from that direction, just a fence.
She told him to cut it out. He responded by putting a gate in the fence that led into his backyard, right behind the house. He obviously never used it; there wasn't so much as a blade of grass disturbed on his side of the gate, much less a driveway.
She told him to cut it out. He responded by grading a driveway across her pasture.
Eventually, she got fed up, tore up the driveway, and fenced the pasture.
Neighbor got a lawyer and sued for an easement to cross her property, despite the fact that his house and full entry to all his property was literally a mile further down a county road. She went to court completely confident that her jerk neighbor would be slapped down, hard.
What she didn't count on was the fact that his people had lived in the county since they were still fighting Indians and she had only lived there for 4 years. The judge was an old school buddy of the neighbor. In a kangaroo court that lasted all of three minutes where the judge actually refused to look at the pictures that showed the fake driveway led to literally nothing on the neighbor's property, the judge granted the neighbor a permanent easement to cross her land.
I said all that to say this - The banned member was right to point out that if you actually grant someone the right, in writing, to cross over your land for any reason without your case-by-case permission, you're creating a potential legal problem. If the OP had a falling out with his neighbor, what would happen? Does anyone want someone with whom you're feuding to have a legal right to come onto your land? Unless a very good lawyer draws it up with adequate escape clauses, once that contract has been in force for a few years both sides may be stuck with it permanently.
I get the impression that the OP didn't intend on getting lawyers involved and was just talking about a way he and his neighbor could share their property to their mutual benefit. That's a nice thought but it sounds to me like a legal minefield.
I think that's what the banned member was trying to say. Too bad he had to be such an ass about it.
pbridges is upper end state survey dept. guy. He has done a few court cases in his time deputing land rights and boundary cases. He has a brother in some part of TXDOT legal I believe.
Interesting first post.
