Question regarding Right of Passage:

My wife and I recently purchased a home built in 1910. My neighbor recently told me that he had a right of passage through the middle of my property, so that he could wash his car in his back yard. My neighbor's home is not landlocked and has a street front. He does not have a garage or driveway on his property. My deed does state that there was an alley at the time the deed was written. I followed-up with the city, and they told me there had been an unopened alley on my property, but the city had abandoned its development more than 21 years ago. They told me the property is mine. Does the neighbor have rights to pass through my property?

Answer

Really, does he have some paperwork to back up his claim? If he doesn't sounds like full of it.

So he needs some documentation of his easement if not then he has no right of passage.
