You should contact the attorney who represented you when you purchased the property and request a copy of the title examination. If that is not possible you can hire a title examiner to get a professional opinion or try to research your property yourself at the land records office. The staff could get you started. See the related question link provided below.

Can a telephone company attach lines to your property without your permission?
If the telephone company has a recorded easement against your property, they may install telephone lines to the extent allowed by the easement. You can find out whether there is such an easement against your property by looking in the title insurance policy you received when you bought your property. If you see a telephone easement listed, you can get a copy of it at your county courthouse. If you don't see any telephone easements in the policy, or have questions about the extent of such easements, call the title insurance company.

AnswerWhat exactly does the language that refers to the easement say? It could be many things and it should be defined somewhere in the chain of title.

Someone has a right of way through my property which they use for a playground. Am I responsible if anything happens to their unsupervised child?
A Right of Way only allows this other person to pass through your property, not to establish any other kind of use for it. You need to find the document that created the easement to determine what rights were actually granted and to make certain your property is being used only as was intended. You need to visit the land records office and check your own chain of title and the chain of title for the property benefitted by the easement. If you don't want to do the research yourself then you need to contact an attorney who specializes in real estate law who can research the easement and explain your options. If someone is using the land for unauthorized purposes they must be notified by your attorney to stop. You should address the issue ASAP since you may have some liability.
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.
What if a natural gas company built a road on your property prior to you buying the property can the land owner ask for a yearly fee for the use of the property?
You should contact the attorney who represented you when you purchased your property. There should be an instrument in the chain of title for the property that describes the rights that were granted to the gas company by a prior owner. When you purchased the property a title examination should have been performed and the attorney should be able to provide you with a copy of the instrument that created the easement.The most likely explanation is that a prior owner granted easement rights to the gas company for a small fee. You have no power to change the provisions set forth in that easement agreement. When you purchased the property you purchased it subject to any outstanding liens and encumbrances. If the attorney who represented you when you purchased your property cannot or will not help then you can go to your local land records office and ask the staff to help you find the easement so you can review its terms.
A new owner bought the property if front of your land that includes the access road that you have been using for more than thirty years without problems now he put up a fence blocking the road?
You'll need to go to court and get a court order for him to take down the fence or whatever. There are a couple of different property law issues that could be addressed here - easement and nuisance. You need to find out if a permanent easement was attached to the property. You can find this out at the county clerk/deed of registrar's office. The other issue here, is that when someone comes to a property and a nearby or adjoining property has a "nuisance" to it, there is an law called "coming to the nuisance". This deals with a new property owner who raises heck about a neighbor or local issue. The property knew when purchasing the property that the "nuisance" existed and they purchased the property anyway.
