What type of easement allows new homeowners access to cross a neighbor's land?

An easement appurtenant is essential for allowing new homeowners access to cross a neighbor's land. This type of easement is tied to a specific piece of property (the dominant estate), granting its owner the right to use a neighboring property (the servient estate) for a specific purpose, which often involves passage or access.

In the context of new homeowners, an easement appurtenant would enable them to traverse the neighbor's land to reach a road or another essential location. This easement benefits the property itself rather than an individual and is typically recorded with the property deed, ensuring that the right to access continues even when the property changes hands.

This mechanism reinforces neighborly relationships while also ensuring that landowners can utilize their properties effectively without completely infringing on their neighbor's rights.
