Which type of interest is typically associated with an easement appurtenant?

An easement appurtenant is typically associated with a permanent interest because it is a right attached to a specific piece of land, allowing the owner of that land to use a neighboring parcel for a specified purpose, such as accessing a road or utility. This type of interest benefits the dominant tenement (the property benefiting from the easement) and runs with the land, meaning it remains in effect even if the property is sold or transferred.

The permanence of this interest is significant because it provides the property owner with ongoing rights related to the use of the adjacent land. Unlike temporary interests, which may be time-limited or dependent on particular conditions, easement appurtenant rights typically endure indefinitely as long as the dominant tenement exists. This stability is crucial for property owners who rely on such rights for access or utility purposes.
