Living in the rural parts of our county is a great way to experience the beautiful landscapes, native species, and natural wonders our area has to offer. To access these properties landowners must travel on and even sometimes build a private road to access their rural property. If you think your property is “landlocked” and inaccessible, Attorney Gary J. Frankhouser, at DAVIS & DAVIS, has the legal experience necessary to transform your landlocked property into a valuable and accessible piece of property.

What if your property is not landlocked because you share a private road with a few of your country neighbors? Who is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of that private road? At DAVIS & DAVIS, we can help you and your neighbors determine each landowner’s proportionate share of upkeep and maintenance costs for that private road.

Additionally, having a predetermined private road maintenance agreement between neighbors will make getting financing for your property that much easier. Traditionally, banks have been hesitant to lend money to borrowers who intend to build on property that is accessible only by way of a private road. Having a friendly private road maintenance agreement will help alleviate many of the concerns lenders have when deciding on whether to loan money to you.

Unfortunately, when there are no agreements in place, disputes arise between neighbors regarding the upkeep and maintenance of their shared private road. If you find you are facing these troubles, Call Attorney Gary J. Frankhouser and the Team of Professionals at DAVIS & DAVIS to set up an appointment. DAVIS & DAVIS has been honored to represent Fayette County residents since 1976.
