How to prevent a prescriptive easement on my driveway which abuts neighbors easement?
Prescriptive easements are similar to the concept of adverse possession. A prescriptive easement can only be created if the other party is using your property without your consent, that use is continuous, and it is "open and notorious" and adverse to your claim of perfect title for the statutory period, which varies from state to state but is usually at least a few years. Then the other party would have to sue to quiet the title to the easement in their favor. So, all that mumbo-jumbo aside, just don't let a neighbor use your property. Let them know if they are using your property and you are unhappy with it. If you are civil, most folks are willing to be amicable. If the use continues, consult an attorney about your best course of action.

Purchased land with driveway installed by original owner and the entrance is on his land. he installed driveway 30 years ago. do we have any legal right to land?
There may be "right of way" issues that need to be addressed. If the right of way has been maintained for a specific amount of time (determined by state law in YOUR state), you can demand that the right of way be continued. If there is no specific or other right of way and no access to the land, you might want to consider a lawsuit against the person who sold the land.What you have is perhaps an "easement" question. Even if the deed does not say you have a right to pass and repass upon his portion of the driveway, you have an "easement implied in law." In other words, the owner knew about the driveway across his land, sold you the land with the driveway, and thus burdened his own land by giving you a perpetual right to use the driveway across his land. For future reference, you should amend the deed to include the easement, or obtain another signed document that describes the easement and have it recorded in the registry. This will help prevent any future owner from attempting to deny you the use of the driveway and the easement upon the driveway.
