What are our rights regrding an an easement?
We bought a house that has a boat ramp to the right of our home and 2 parking spaces. When we purchased the house, there was an easement put in place granting us access to the boat ramp as long as said boat ramp exists and the 2 parking spaces. We have now had the neighbors across the street purchased the strip of property that the easement is on. The easement is in their deed along with ours. They now have a trailer half way down the boat ramp where we cannot access it. We use to park our cars behind our house as we have 3 cars and 2 parking spaces. We now have to park on the side of the street because they have blocked the boat ramp with a trailer.

I suggets that you consult with a real estate attorney about your easement matter to review the document. If your property is burdened by the easement you have the right to use your property without intervention by the other side. An easement is simply a right to use the property of another without interfering with the use of the property owner to it. From what you have written about, there is an interference with the use of your property beyond the scope of the easement.
