Which method is one way to create an easement?

1. Express Grant

2. Expropriation

3. Metes and Bounds

4. Profit a Prendre

The correct answer is: Express Grant

One way to create an easement is through an Express Grant. An easement by express grant is created when the owner of the servient land grants the easement rights to the owner of the dominant land through a written document. This written document outlines the terms and conditions of the easement, including the rights granted, the duration of the easement, and any restrictions or obligations that may apply. The other options are not methods of creating an easement: - Expropriation is the process by which the government acquires private property for public use, but it is not a method for creating an easement. - Metes and Bounds is a method used to legally describe and define the boundaries of a piece of land, not to create an easement. - Profit a Prendre is a type of easement that allows the holder to enter another's property to extract resources like minerals, timber, or crops, but it is not a method for creating a standard easement.
