Get ready for question of the day. If you have a permanent right to cross someone else's land to reach your house, your property is considered A, an easement in gross. B, a servient tenement. C, a dominant tenement. D, an injunction. The answer is letter C. The dominant estate is the property that benefits from the easement, while the servient estate is the property that carries the burden. For example, if one property has the right to use a driveway on another property to access a house, the property with the access right is the dominant estate. Learned something new?
