land locked land in fl

[Demetrius Crisco]

Here is the situation. I have a good friend of mine who owns 2 acres of land  that is land locked. We both live in FL and the land is in FL. I have looked into it and am thinking we can go to court and basically make the person who cut off the parcel and sold it give a 20 ft easement so that the property has road access. My thoughts are that the land would be worth a lot more if it is not land locked and an easement were already in place when it was being sold.  Is  going to court to get an easement something you can do without a lawyer relatively easy? I have not priced what land is going for in the area yet. But there is about 2k worth of back property taxes that he owes. I am trying to figure out if it would be a good investment to pay the property taxes and then get an easement to bring up the property value. Has anyone ever dealt with a situation like this in FL?
