An easement by necessity is typically created when a property is in which situation?
Correct Answer
B) A parcel has no access to a public road and is completely landlocked
An easement by necessity is implied by law when a parcel of land is landlocked — meaning it has no access to a public road except by crossing another's property. Courts will grant this easement to ensure the owner has reasonable access, as it is considered a necessity. This commonly arises in Idaho when large tracts are subdivided and a resulting parcel is left without direct road access.
