Easements.

An easement appurtenant occurs when the easement is created in writing, subscribed by the creator, and burdens the servient estate for the benefit of the dominant estate. Once created, the easement runs with the land and can only be extinguished by abandonment, conveyance, condemnation, or adverse possession.
