What is the definition of a servient tract?
In law, the owner of a parcel of land may, because he owns that particular piece of land, have rights pertaining to the adjoining parcel of land. The most common of these is the right of way. The owner of parcel A has the right to travel over parcel B to get to and from parcel A, and there is nothing legal the owner of parcel B can do to stop it. In a case like this parcel A is called a "dominant tenement" and parcel B is called a "servient tenement". In some jurisdictions, where the word "tenement" has unfortunate connotations, the word "tract" might possibly be substituted.

If successful, the court would issue an order that clears the title of the easement. However, you need to consult an attorney who specializes in real estate law and litigation. An abundance of work would be involved in that type of case.
