Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An easement appurtenant is created when the owner of one piece of land is given an easement (the right to use or access the land) over an adjacent piece of land that is owned by someone else. It is said to be "appurtenant" because the easement is tied to the ownership of the land and passes with the land when it is sold or transferred to a new owner. The other options (A, B, C) are different types of easements, but do not specifically apply to this situation.
