I have some relevant experience. My father owns a property with an easement, purchased from an attorney who worked in easement law, in a different jurisdiction: this man himself mistook some points of law, and last minute paperwork was required. At several levels of government, various departments use maps that clearly indicate (incorrectly) that my father does not own the easement, and the city at one time attempted to suggest that it was frontage. And this is regarding an easement whereupon there is a well-established thicket, not a road. This brings me to the consideration that real estate agents are not lawyers, and that legal status of the easement might have been unclear or incorrectly represented when the purchase was made. Also, I think that if the road was being treated simultaneously as a liability and an obligation by whatever mix of regional law pertained, a legal confrontation would be completely understandable. I do not know or assert that any of these things are the case, but I know that easements are complicated beasts, and that a simple violation of contract may not be the only explanation here.
