Escrow & Title

An 'easement by necessity' in NC is typically created when:

AA neighbor requests access to a shared driveway
BA landlocked parcel is severed from a larger tract, requiring access across the grantor's remaining land✓ Correct
CThe government condemns a strip of land for utilities
DA property owner installs a shared fence

Explanation

An easement by necessity arises when a parcel becomes landlocked due to a division of property — the law implies an easement across the grantor's remaining land to provide the landlocked parcel with access.
