Property Ownership
A Florida property owner's easement is 'appurtenant.' This means the easement:
ABenefits only the current owner personally
BIs attached to and benefits a specific parcel of land, transferring with ownership of that land✓ Correct
CCan be revoked by the servient landowner at any time
DExpires after 20 years
Explanation
An easement appurtenant benefits a dominant estate (the parcel it serves) and runs with that land — it transfers automatically when the dominant estate is sold. The servient estate (burdened property) also passes with the land encumbered by the easement.
