We have an 8 foot wide deeded easement and we have used 10 to 12 feet of it as our driveway it is paved. When we bought the property 20 years ago it was in the same place it is now. We recently had problems with our neighbor the owner of the land had threatened to block us out and make the driveway 8 feet wide and put up a fence. We needed to contact a lawyer and he wrote a letter to our neighbor that said we have a prescriptve rights to the easment as it is now. Our lawyer just informed us that his lawyer mention a quiet title I really just wanted to know what does that mean to us?

A quiet title is a court action to establish ownership of a piece of property, particularly when there is an issue with the title. I'd suggest consulting your attorney. It may mean that the other side is going to go to court to try to clarify the title issue involved here, but no one here can know for sure.

I think you need to consult your attorney, but I think the attorney is saying you have ownership of the extra feet by adverse possession or something like that, and you could file a quiet title action to the extra feet of driveway.
