What happens if a dominant tenement and a servient tenement become vested in the same owner?

A dominant tenement is land that benefits from an easement on another's property. The servient tenement is the land over which the easement runs. Generally, when both properties become vested in one owner there is a merger of title and the easement is extinguished. However, you should always consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction, preferably the attorney who represented you at the time of your purchase.


Does the dominant tenement of their neighbors property have the right to change the property?

Side yard easements Well our Easement says that the Servient has the right of drainage over, across and upon the easement area for water drainage from any dwelling or structure upon the appurtenances thereto and the portions of any dwelling structure upon the Servient Tenement as originally constructed. Also our Easement says that the Dominant Tenement shall not place or install any permanent improvement(s) or landscaping other than the softscape landscaping in the easement area nor attach any object to a wall or dwelling belonging to the Servient Tenement or disturb the grading of the easement area or otherwise act with respect to the easement area in any manner which would damage the Servient Tenement.


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.
