Which statement about an easement is accurate?

1. An easement must be written in the property's deed to be valid.

2. An easement allows taking resources like trees or gravel from another's land.

3. An easement grants rights over another's land for a specific purpose.

4. An easement involves a deed restriction that limits property use.

5. An easement can only be created through court approval.

6. An easement requires a surveyor's approval.

The correct answer is: An easement grants rights over another's land for a specific purpose.

The correct answer is C. An easement grants rights over another's land for a specific purpose. This statement accurately describes an easement, which is a legal right to use another person's land for a specific purpose. This could include rights such as allowing a property owner to access their land through a neighboring property or granting utility companies the right to access and maintain their infrastructure on someone else's land. Regarding the other options: A. An easement can be created in various ways, and it does not always have to be explicitly written in the property's deed to be valid. B. An easement does not typically involve taking resources from another's land but rather grants specific rights for use. D. While easements can restrict certain property rights, they are not necessarily the same as deed restrictions, which are limitations outlined in a property deed. E. While there are instances where easements may require court approval, it is not the only way to establish an easement. F. While a surveyor may be involved in identifying the specific location or boundaries of an easement, their approval is not a requirement for creating an easement.
