My FIL built a place in Sanbornton across the street from Lake Winnisquam within a short distance to the public beach. He was very friendly with the guy who owned 200ft of waterfront across the street. He only had a little shack on the property, and he was rarely there because he lived in NY. The guy let us use his waterfront when he wasn't there, but we had no legal right to it.
We'll that guy passed away and my FIL rented his place out until he passed in 2015. His son bought out the other 4 siblings and now lives there. The family still owns the property across the street and still rarely visits but my brother in-law, who now owns the house, has no use of the property because it's all "he said, she said". He has asked and they said no. My FIL never got anything in writing.
You need to find out who owns that piece of property, every piece of property is in someone or some entity's name. You should be able to search it on the town website.
The property that I have deeded rights to is in the name of the first people to build there. So, I guess legally they own it, but I have deeded rights to it along with 2 other homes.
