mrs.cos Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 My neighbhorhood is getting a MUCH needed electrical upgrade. There are some Easement issues on the back of my lot. I have TWO surveys that show they dont have easement rights on my property where they want to dig. The digger/driller people offered up some suggestions as to where would *like* to dig, but i need to knnow how to handle AEP in the manor. There is NO easment where they need to do work. Should we talk to a real estate lawyer prior to allowing to try and aquire/purchase anything, If so what pitfalls should we watch for. Thanks for any input.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 You're asking CR, so the default advice is gonna be "shoot your neighbor's dog, poison their children, slash their tires and sell their mailbox". EDIT: Also, "move out to the middle of nowhere" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeesammy Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Actually just studied a case similar to this in class. In a nutshell, if it is for the public good they "could" get the .gov involved and pull imminent domain, but also if it is way out of easement with no questions asked then you could put up a huge stink about it and make it not happen. It's hard to say without knowing all the details and seeing the setup. I'd call someone aside from the AEP workers there (supervisor, project manager, etc.) and see where they got their info and "permission" to dig from. For example a few years back near Delaware I believe, A company was trying to push city water piping further out Into the country. The guys going to get permission missed a house, and the homeowner let them dig on their land and it became an expensive day for the company. Not trying to encourage a lawsuit, but you do have rights. An attorney IMO would be an "on down the road" thing. Check with AEP and see where they stand with all the legal stuff on their end. You'd be amazed how much stuff is skipped over since they are well aware they are able to get away with It. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93 RX-7 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 You could check with AEP Engineering Services. I think this number will get you there...614-833-6715. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 If they want to use your property, you charge them per amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I have no clue on an answer to your question. However, I would make sure I got free electricity forever if I were in your shoes. KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
