There’s a decent chance you have to give safe passage. Depends how long you’ve been allowing this. That’s the way it would be in Iowa anyway. Fairly certain ten years is the time period. In real estate law, the proper term is referred to as “open and notorious”. Check it out. You might not have a say in the manner anymore.
What you’re referring to usually requires that the use be adverse. If the old neighbor had permission, it doesn’t count.
I took it neighbor owns the adjoining property. Pretty sure if ten years has passed, it be considered an easement.
