release, abandonment, prescription, estoppel, unity of title, stated condition in grant
that's how you terminate an easement. |

Date: July 11th, 2010 2:32 AM Author: khaki french lettuce there were 8 from another thread:
END CRAMP
Estoppel = Promise by easement holder that easement will no longer be enforced + servient owner materially changes his position in reasonable reliance
Necessity = Easements created by necessity expire as soon as the necessity ends, unless it was created by express grant
Destruction = Destruction of the servient land, other than through the willful conduct of the servient owner, terminates the easement
Condemnation of servient estate (i.e. eminent domain)
Release = Written release by easement holder
Abandonment = Easement holder demonstrates by physical action the intent to never use easement again. Mere nonuse or words are insufficient for abandonment.
Merger Doctrine = Easement extinguished when title to dominant estate and title to servient estate become vested in the same person.
Prescription = Servient estate owner may extinguish the easement by interfering with it in accordance with the elements of adverse possession (COAH = we need interference that is continuous, open and notorious, actual, and hostile to the easement holder)
