Is an appurtenant easement affected by the sale of a property?

  1. Yes, it ends

  2. No, it remains in effect

  3. Yes, but can be renegotiated

  4. No, but it must be reestablished

The correct answer is: No, it remains in effect

An appurtenant easement is a type of easement that is attached to a specific property, not a specific owner. This means that when a property is sold, the easement still remains in effect and is transferred to the new owner. The other options are incorrect because they either imply that the easement ends or requires further action to be taken, which is not the case for an appurtenant easement. Option A is incorrect because the easement is attached to the property, not the owner, so it does not end with the sale of the property. Option C is incorrect because while the easement may be renegotiated between the parties involved, it is not affected by the sale of the property. Option D is incorrect because the easement is not terminated, so it does not need to be reestablished.
