I would have to see and hear the whole situation in order to give an educated opinion, but I have heard a number of people bring up "adverse possession." Adverse possession can only be claimed if it is done without permission. If there is an easement granted there is no adverse possession. Adverse possession must be: open, notorious, exclusive, hostile and continuous. If there is an easement there is permission, no longer hostile.
