What is a servient estate?

  1. One that imposes an easement

  2. One that receives the benefit of an easement

  3. One that grants an easement

  4. One that terminates an easement

The correct answer is: One that grants an easement

A servient estate is the piece of property that grants an easement to another property, known as the dominant estate, giving the dominant estate the right to use a specific portion of the servient estate for a specific purpose. This means that options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the role of the servient estate in an easement.
