Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Grandpa gave Sue a grant easement, which is a voluntary transfer of an interest in land. He specifically granted her the right to use the road on his farm, and this right cannot be revoked. Easement by implication would arise if there was an existing use of the road that Sue continued to use after obtaining her property. Reserved easement would occur if Grandpa had retained the right to use the road himself. Easement by prescription would require Sue to have used the road openly and continuously for a period of time without Grandpa's permission, which is not the case here.
