Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

The correct answer is easement appurtenant. An easement appurtenant benefits the dominant estate (the neighbor’s property) and runs with the land, meaning it transfers with the property regardless of ownership. Since the agreement was in writing, it satisfies the Statute of Frauds. The fact that the right to cross the land was intended to bind future owners also indicates an easement appurtenant rather than a personal right (license). An easement in gross differs because it does not benefit a dominant estate, and a profit involves the right to remove resources rather than the mere right to cross land.
