My question involves an easement in the state of: Michigan
We own a home that had an ingress/egress easement in the legal description when we purchased it to allow our neighbor access to his land. We have been living here for 5 years and he is now wanting to build a home on his property. He has had a foundation poured, and they are starting to build his home, but he does not have a utility easement. He is now asking us to grant a utility easement and based on past experience with him,we are not willing to do this. He has not offered to negotiate any type of compensation for the easement, nor has he been honest with the utility company. He actually told the utility company that he owned the easement and he had the authority to allow them to run electricity over our land. So, my questions are: can we be forced to grant an easement? and Does the utility company have the authority to install power lines over our property without our permission? Thanks you!
