Blog: I feel you are with the wrong atty. ‘Fixed cost thing’ is bs.
“so even if the guy doesn’t fight title claims, and settles quickly, or doesn’t even answer the claim and I win by default”
This doesn’t make sense. You don’t and cannot gain title short of purchasing the rest of his property and you already paid for an easement on his land. There is nothing for him to settle. What do you win by default??
Time to focus. The issue is the easement not title. You paid for the right to trespass someone elses property legally through an easement. Period.
Find a real estate only attny and pay him for the letter. That’s it.
Then proceed with enforcement. Photos and call cops like I already mentioned. If he brandishes a weapon, then he goes to jail. Where a GoPro when you egress.
You are not in good place with this. You don’t have all the options to make decisions. He gave you bad advice and is simply trying to win you over again with another meeting next week.
Grr.
edit————
You mentioned you have title. To what? Is your easement in the form of a grant deed? If so that is not the title you are thinking of. It’s just an easement.
