    Detailed Explanation (300+ words)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    An easement appurtenant<\/strong> is a type of easement that involves two separate parcels of land owned by different parties: one benefitted parcel<\/strong> and one burdened parcel<\/strong>. It is a legal right that one landowner has to use a portion of a neighboring property for a specific purpose, and this right is tied to the land itself<\/strong>, not to the individual person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Easement Appurtenant \u201cRuns with the Land\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The correct answer is (a) They “run with the land.”<\/strong> This means that the easement automatically transfers<\/strong> with the property when either parcel is sold. The easement benefits the dominant estate<\/strong> (the property that gains the benefit) and burdens the servient estate<\/strong> (the property that must allow the easement). The easement is not temporary<\/strong> and not personal<\/strong>\u2014it continues to exist even when ownership changes, which is the essence of “running with the land.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Option (b) is incorrect because easements appurtenant are generally permanent<\/strong>, unless a termination clause is included.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Option (c) refers to a profit \u00e0 prendre<\/strong>, not an easement. A profit allows the holder to remove<\/strong> natural resources like minerals or timber.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Option (d) describes an easement in gross<\/strong>, which benefits a person or entity, not a parcel of land.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      2. Servient Estate is the Burdened Land<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      The correct answer is (b) the servient estate.<\/strong> In an easement appurtenant, the servient estate<\/strong> is the land that bears the burden<\/strong> of the easement\u2014this is the property across which someone has the right to travel or use for a specific purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Option (a), the dominant estate<\/strong>, is the land that benefits<\/strong> from the easement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Option (c), licensed estate<\/strong>, is incorrect because a license<\/strong> is a temporary and revocable permission\u2014not a property interest like an easement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Option (d), a profit<\/strong>, refers to the right to take something<\/strong> (like crops or minerals) from another’s land\u2014not the concept of land burdened by an easement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
