Tennessee. A neighbor has an ingress/egress easement across our property. It is shown on the plat. It is used exclusively by his agricultural tenant. We would like to move the easement for our convenience. We do not believe it would inconvenience the tenant, but have not spoken to him regarding the issue. The ends of the easement would remain in the same place. The route across the property would be realigned. The length may increase slightly, but it would not be as steep. We would pay for the grading of the new route. The tenant currently maintains the existing easement. We woudl expect him to continue on the new route. There is no existing written maintenace agreement.
How should we proceed? We have only spoken to the owner by phone once. He does not live in the immediate area. We are on good terms with the tenant.
Thank you.
