Easement was given 20 years ago on a property we just purchased can i build a wall on the other side of the easement line?

Your question requires a lot more detail. Generally, you cannot build a wall that would restrict access to the area of the property subject to the easement. An easement allows people other than the owners of property to use the property for a specific purpose (commonly easements are granted to give neighboring property owners access to a road). If you recently purchased the property subject to the easement you are not allowed to build a wall which would restrict the easement owner's access to the property.If you are asking if you can construct a wall on the other side of an easement upon property you do not own, the answer is no. You have the right of egress and possibly to maintain it, but does not give you the right to construct a wall on the ajoining property outside of the easement which you do not own.See discussion page.


Does an easement devalue your property?

It depends on the easement and the type of property. As a rule, easements lower the value of the realty because granting an easement cedes one or more of the "bundle of rights" of absolute unencumbered ownership (fee simple title). As such, an easement reduces the rights of the property owner and therefore devalues the property. In some cases easements can enhance the property by providing access to an otherwise landlocked parcel or utility services to potentially residential property; in such a case an easement can enhance property value by providing access or allowing a higher level of development and a correspondingly higher value.

If you have permission to hunt can you use a perpetual easement to get to property?

First, a landowner's verbal permission to hunt their property can be withdrawn at any time, for any reason. You should get it in writing. Also, you should inquire about legal access to the property when you discuss permission with the landowner. If the owner has legal access via an easement and permits you to use their land then you can also use their easement for access. If the easement you refer to is owned by someone else then you need their permission to use it.


What rights do you have to a part of your property which is a temporary turn around easement?

You can't block access or use the land for any other purpose until the easement has expired.

Would access to an easement end for nonuse?

Generally, no. The easement is a property right, not a personal right, so it exists regardless of who owns the property or how they use it. However, an easement CAN be lost if someone blocks it and no action is taken within the prescribed time, and this might happen if nobody notices the blockage because the easement is not being used.
