Study Notes
Easement Termination
- An appurtenant easement, where one property (dominant tenement) has the right to cross another (servient tenement) will end if the properties merge into a single ownership.
- The easement is also terminated if the dominant tenement owner releases their right to the easement through a quitclaim deed.
- Therefore, both merger and a quitclaim deed from the dominant tenement owner will terminate the easement.
- Correct answer: C (A and B)
