The easement only applies to the electric company. Your property does not become Public Property.

He would have to go through legal proceedings concerning property boundaries. It is dountful that he could do this unless it has to do with safety or he has been using the property for 7 years.
Encroachment of easement by planting crops on?
"Encroachment" is not the same as "blocking" it. If there is a legal easement codified in the deeds, the width of the easement should probably be spelled out. If the legally described width of the easement is being narrowed or "choked" by the planting of the crops to the point of inconvenience - my suggestion would be discuss it with the farmer who planted them and advise him. Legally established easements grant 'passage of necessity' over, under, or through, a property, but they do not imply or convey any ownership rights upon the property over which the easement passes! And it does not mean the property can't use the land for other purposes, it just means that, when necessary, he is legally required to grant passsage over his property.
Can an easement be blocked?
If an easement is a legal easement as described in a legally filed deed then no an easement can not be blocked. The only way an easement can be released is again through a release by all parties on a recorded deed.
Your neighbor is trying to claim easement through all the exisiting roads on your property in tne 18 years that he has owned his property he has never used them he has a r-o-w on the main road does he?
There are many reasons your neighbor might have an easement over one or more roads on your property. Once that easement has vested (he owns it), he has no particular obligation to exercise it, but must protect it from being revoked by others. However, in many cases the neighbor is completely mistaken that he has any property right in the easement at all, having once used the roads with the owner's permission, and that license was simply terminated. Question whether the neighbor would have any proof of ownership of the easement, if you were to file a lawsuit to quiet title.
Does the property owner of ingress and egress easement have a right to put a gate up for security?
No because the easement is not owned by the holder. The easement holder does not have the right to put up a gate, they only have the right of ingress and egress through someone else's property.
The easement runs through the front house of the owner can the owner move the easement to another location or what would be the legal solution?
First you would need to discuss the needs of the owner of the easement and determine it they are willing to relocate the easement. If they are not willing the matter would need to be resolved in a court proceeding. If the relocation of the easement would cause excessive inconvenience the court may not rule in your favor and the error may be costly. Did you know of the location of the easement before building? You need to consult an attorney.
In Virginia does having a right of way through a private property give you the right to fence it in and make changes to the shared entrance?
A right of way entitles the easement owner the right to use a way for ingress and egress to and from their property. They can't do anything else to it unless other rights were granted in the original easement.
Can a neighbor take your land through adverse possession?
Yes--but only if certain requirements have been met. These requirements vary from state to state. Usually, the possession must have been for at least 10 years. Contact a real estate lawyer in your area (look for one who gives "free consultations" in the phone book) for more specifics on your state's laws.
Can a landlocked neighbor obtain an easement through my property even though it does not exist on the parcel map mine was purchased prior to his?
First of all, I assume when you say "it does not exist on the parcel map" you mean "an easement does not exist on the parcel map." In most states, your neighbor could sue you for an "easement of necessity" across your property. Generally an easement of necessity requires that your properties have a common grantor (i.e. they were both owned by the same person at one time and subdivided by that person). A real estate attorney in your area will know your state's laws and can give you guidance with your specific situation.
The power company has no easement on their power line that goes through your property Can you build a garage under the line?
Your title would need to be researched to determine if an easement was granted in years past. Utility easements are often not recited in deed descriptions. Failure to recite the easement does not mean the easement doesn't exist. Grants by property owners are not the only method by which utility companies acquire rights. In some cases, easement rights were taken by eminent domain. In some cases the utility was permitted to construct a ROW by virtue of a legislative act. In that case, it would have an easement. You should speak with an attorney in your area before you construct anything within the limits of the power line. An attorney who specializes in real estate law would be familiar with the local practices. If you build a garage within the power line ROW and later find the utility did have an easement it can and will demand the garage be removed.
Squatter's rights to property that has been maintained for years. Do I have any rights to that property. This is in Canada.?
Under Canada's Constitution, matters involving property fall under provincial jurisdiction. There are ten provinces in Canada, so there could be ten different answers to your question. The answer might vary significantly according to which province the property is situated in. It is possible that you might have a claim for a prescriptive easement, and possibly title to the property through adverse possession, but without a thorough analysis about the quality and duration of how you "maintained" the property, it would be impossible to guess with any degree of accuracy. Your best bet is to consult a lawyer right away. If you snooze, you can lose something you might otherwise have gained. The law frequently favours those who take steps to enforce their rights promptly.
