Two real-estate licensing exam questions: which property is burdened by an easement (the servient estate), and what counts as puffing versus fraud. Puffing is exaggeration that's treated as opinion, not a factual lie.

Question of the day. Question number one: The property over which an easement runs in favor of another parcel of real estate is known as A. Prescriptive estate. B. Dominant estate. C. Servient estate. D. Condemned estate. The answer is C. Servient estate. An easement is a non-possessory right to use and/or enter onto the real property of another without possessing it. The dominant estate is the one benefiting from the easement and the servient is the one burdened by it. Said another way, the property over which an easement runs is the servient tenement, while the property whose easement runs over another is the dominant tenement. Which of the following is the best example of the practice known as A licensee exaggerates certain features or benefits of a property. A licensee implies that he is well-connected and knows many influential people in the area. A licensee misrepresents material facts concerning a property. A licensee communicates his opinions about a property as material facts. The answer is A. A licensee exaggerates certain features or benefits of a property. Puffing is when a licensee may exaggerate the benefits or features of a property. It is the sometimes exaggerated buildup a salesperson or the seller may give to a buyer about a property for sale. It is recognized in law as an opinion and not necessarily representing the facts.
