Question: 1 / 400

When does an easement for a specific purpose expire?

When a new owner is assigned

When the purpose for which it was granted no longer exists

An easement for a specific purpose expires when the purpose for which it was granted no longer exists. This principle is rooted in the nature of easements; they are typically established to serve a particular use or benefit related to a property. If that specific use ceases to exist—such as if the land for which the easement was created is no longer used for that purpose—the easement becomes irrelevant and is deemed to have expired.

For example, if an easement was granted for access to a waterway and the waterway dries up or is filled in, the fundamental purpose of the easement no longer exists, leading to its termination. This approach maintains the practical utility of easements, ensuring they remain relevant and are not perpetuated indefinitely when their intended use is fulfilled or rendered obsolete.
