You need to call an attorney licensed in the state where the property is located.

A third party cannot force you to agree to put an easement upon your property, however, they may have rights to the easement from prior acts or agreements. Unfortunately, there is no way to answer this question completely with the limited information you provided, and this is certainly something you should involve an attorney in.
