Question

Wayne and Mitch own adjoining parcels of land. Wayne allowed Mitch to install pipe across his property for the purpose of pumping spring water onto Mitch's property. Mitch's use of Wayne's property is:
1. an easement in gross
2. an easement appurtenant
3. a license
4. a profit

Answer 1

Answer:

2. an easement appurtenant

Explanation:

An appurtenant for easement is an area of land which favors one piece of land, known as the dominant tenement, to the disadvantage of another piece of land, known as the Servient tenement.

Wayne's land is subject to an easement.

Appurtenant Easements are attached to the property and are automatically transferred when the servient or dominant tenement is sold to a new owner.
