There are grave sites scattered all over this country … snuggled next to old barns on properties about to be developed to ancestral cemeteries that have been long forgotten. I’ve had buyers who’ve worried about bodies being next door and others who’ve said, “We’ll have quiet neighbors.”
Sometimes developers gain permission to relocate the burial sites, but at other times the remains must remain. When they stay put, the heirs may gain the right to visit them … even to cross your property to gain access.
Ingress is the legal right to enter the property. Egress is the right to leave the property. Both are real estate terms that may also apply to public works employees, electric and gas company workers, and others who may need to access something on or next to your property in order to complete a job. Or families just visiting their gone but not fogotten family members.
Here’s a whole different enchilada on using ingress and egress rights.
When we purchased our home there was an existing easement granted to the neighbors for ingress/egress. We have no problem with this. A problem has now arisen because we have asked them to somehow tone down the water on the one side as it creates a muddy mess in our horse’s pen. They are saying we can not have anything in the easement except the existing barn that everyone has agreed to it staying.
The advise given and being followed is the best,
I will take your advice and speak with an attorney after I get copies of the items I need from title.
