Lawrence v. Pate

The plaintiffs, Charles W. and Elizabeth G. Lawrence, appeal from a summary judgment entered in favor of the defendants, Alvin E. and Geraldine Pate, in a declaratory action to establish the continuing existence of a 14-year-old easement that permitted the plaintiffs to cross the defendants' property in Elmore County. The Pates denied that the Lawrences had the right to a continued easement on the Pates' property.

On June 11, 1975, S.B. and Mary M. Holman deeded 223 acres of land to their children, Ben Holman, Arthur Holman, Margie Holman Addison, Brenda Holman Wilkes, and Sue Holman Cooper.…
