Property Ownership and Land Use Practice Question

Question

A broker is supervising a transaction file involving easements appurtenant. The parties need a practical answer before moving forward. Which answer best applies the rule? (Item 146)

Answer choices

1. A. It prevents any later disclosure, even when new facts become known.
2. B. Identify that an appurtenant easement benefits one parcel and burdens another.
3. C. It applies only to commercial property and never to residential transactions.
4. D. It is controlled only by local custom rather than by law, contract, or professional duty.

Correct Answer

B. Identify that an appurtenant easement benefits one parcel and burdens another.

Explanation

The correct answer is B because easements appurtenant requires candidates to identify that an appurtenant easement benefits one parcel and burdens another. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
