Easement-by-EstoppelGeneral RuleGeneral Rule
• An owner may be estopped from barring a 2d party access to the owner’s property where 1. The owner apparently allows 2d party to use the
property (Apparent License)2. 2d party reasonably and detrimentally relies on this
acquiescence
• Effect in States that Allow Easements-by-Estoppel is that License Becomes Unrevokable
• Usually little debate about Apparent License, so existence of E-by-E usually turns on reliance.

Easement-by-EstoppelReasonable & Detrimental Reliance
Nelson v. AT&T (Note 3 P851)• Easement contained in deed invalid b/c lack of legal
formalities. D placed 32 poles & maintained for 30 years. Compare to Stoner re Reliance.– AT&T: Clearer that easement rather than license intended b/c
explicit, in writing, & problems w deed arose after O signed– BUT AT&T sophisticated party; should’ve known that deed
was invalid & fixed

Nelson v. AT&T (Note 3 P851)• Easement contained in deed invalid b/c lack of legal
formalities. D placed 32 poles & maintained for 30 years.
• Mass SCt: No easement; AT&T should have known easement not properly created meaning they had a “mere license.” Essentially holds reliance was not reasonable by a sophisticated player.

have been in fact as necessary to his safety, and may have been an
inducement of the particular investment in the first instance.”

Parcel split into Eastacre and Westacre. Prior Use = Driveway from House on Eastacre across Westacre to main road.
• Original owner sells East, retains West = by Grant (Claim in Dupont)
• Original owner sells West, retains East = by Reservation (Claim in Williams Island)
• Original Owner Simultaneously Sells Both to Different People = by Grant

Easement-by-Implication: Notice
Subsequent purchasers of servient tenement only bound to continue easement if notice of its existence at time of
purchase
•Actual Notice/Knowledge (Fact Q): Did buyer know about easement?•Inquiry Notice (Legal Q): Sufficient info to create duty in reasonable buyer to ask?
– Often Sufficient: Path/road going to property line– Courts sometimes stretch to find inquiry notice: should have been aware
that pipes underground might connect, etc.
•Usually won’t be notice from public land records b/c documents unlikely to refer to implied easement.
