Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An easement by implication arises by operation of law when the owner of a divided property sells a parcel that is necessary for the reasonable use and enjoyment of another parcel they retain. In this case, Louie subdivided his property and sold parcels of land that do not have direct access to the waterfront but promised all purchasers use of the boat ramp. Bernie, as a purchaser of one of those parcels, would likely have an easement by implication allowing him access to the boat ramp since it is necessary for the reasonable use and enjoyment of his property.
