According to their deeds, Baker and Larson share a common driveway on a boundary line between their two properties. Does the right of use for the driveway continue for both properties after Baker's death?

While this choice acknowledges the transferability of easements, it incorrectly categorizes the nature of the driveway in this scenario. An easement in gross typically benefits a specific individual rather than the property. In this case, the driveway serves the properties themselves, making it more likely that it is an easement appurtenant that continues after Baker's death.

This option mischaracterizes the legal status of the driveway. An encroachment implies an unauthorized intrusion onto another's property, which is not the case here since Baker and Larson share the driveway legally. Therefore, it cannot be classified as an encroachment, and this choice fails to account for the shared rights established.

This statement is incorrect as it suggests that the easement ceases with Baker's death. As previously explained, the right to use the shared driveway is typically tied to the properties rather than the individual owners, ensuring that the easement remains valid after a change in ownership or the death of one party.
