Neighbor Put Up Fence In My Driveway Now I Can No Longer Drive Out Of My Property.

Card image cap

Location: New Mexico I’ve inherited property, my family has owned this property for many generations, and we’ve always drove through my neighbors property to get to mine. Suddenly I wake up this morning and discover that I am blocked off, I was never given a warning. The property I drive through is addressed under a Lane. It has all his renters living there, I am also addressed under this lane. Is there anything I can do? There is no easement on the deed. Edit: I wrote this in a panic as soon and I realized my driveway was blocked. I am only 19 years old please be nice ???? Let me give some more background. My neighbor is my uncle. The property I inherited was from my dad because he is serving prison for life. My mom passed away a while ago, and I am so freaked out because I have no idea what to do or who to go to. Both tracts were once one whole tract at some point in the 80s. My great grandpa passed along these tracts to both my dad and my uncle. My dad named the address and even did the paperwork for the lane. So after many years of driving through, why now is he putting this on me? I am going to get ahold of a lawyer in the morning so there will be more updates.
