When you grant an easement in your property you are granting the other party the right to use a portion of your property for some specific purpose. You still own the property. The other party owns a right in your property. You should review the document that created the easement for details.

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.

A utility easement is a feature of the property you own, not a loss of property.

We own an easement and tHE OTHER PROPERTY OWNER BLOCKS THE EASEMENT IS THIS LEGAL WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS?
An easement is a property right, and unauthorized blocking of your easement is a trespass. You can have the blockage removed by court order, if necessary. Local law enforcement is often understandably reluctant to become involved in a civil dispute.For example, if your neighbor blocks your shared driveway with a vehicle on private property, and refuses to move it upon polite request, your next call is to a lawyer, not to the police. If it is blocking on the public street, then (in some places) the police will tag and tow the vehicle regardless of who owns the property or the vehicle.

How is an implied easement created?
An easement that is "implied" does not, in fact, legally exist - it is only IMPLIED.

We're both good friends and you have no problem with this arrangement, and I've been doing it for years. Therefore - even though there is no legally recorded easement over your property, there is an implied consent, because you have been allowing me to do it.]
