Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 76
Easement by prescription
CORRECT ANSWER
Easement acquired by continuous open and hostile use of the property for the period of time
prescribed by state law
RATIONALE
Prescriptive easements arise from the adverse, notorious, continuous, and exclusive use of
another's land for a statutorily defined period, establishing a legal right without formal conveyance.
This doctrine balances the rights of landowners with the interests of those who have long utilized
property as if it were their own.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 76
Easement by necessity
CORRECT ANSWER
Easement allowed by law as necessary for the full enjoyment of parcel of real estate .(right of
ingress and egress over a grantors land)

An easement by necessity arises when a parcel of land is divided, and one portion becomes
landlocked, requiring legal access over the grantor's property for its reasonable use and enjoyment.
This legal principle ensures that property owners can access their land, particularly for ingress and
egress.

dominant tenement (the property benefiting from the easement) to use it for a specific purpose.

established.

The dominant tenement is the parcel of land that benefits from an easement, meaning it has the
right to use another's property (the servient tenement) for a specific purpose. This principle
establishes the benefited property's legal right to utilize the burdening property.

method of legal land description. This method relies on natural or artificial landmarks and linear
measurements to delineate property limits.
