FAQ
You can terminate an easement by release. A release is a surrender of a right or interest, such as an easement. Only the person holding the right can release it, such as the owner of the dominant estate in an easement appurtenant or the holder of an easement in gross.
An easement is extinguished when the dominant owner releases it, expressly or impliedly, to the servient owner. Such release can be made only in the circumstances and to the extent in and to which the dominant owner can alienate the dominant heritage.
An easement, right of way or profit can be expressly released by deed. Once this has been done then it is extinguished and cannot be revived.The owner must make it clear that he or she is abandoning the right not just for himself but also for his successors in title.
An easement is extinguished when the dominant owner releases it, expressly or impliedly, to the servient owner.
So to prevent a prescriptive right, the owner may interrupt the adverse use before the prescriptive 5 year period has passed. This can be done by causing the adverse user to stop the use or bring a legal action that results in establishing the owner's right to terminate the use.
An easement, right of way or profit can be expressly released by deed. Once this has been done then it is extinguished and cannot be revived. An easement, right of way or profit can be sometimes impliedly released by the owner's actions or in rare cases by the owner's inaction.
There are eight ways to terminate an easement: abandonment, merger, end of necessity, demolition, recording act, condemnation, adverse possession, and release.
Prescription. Just as an easement can be created by prescription (adverse possession), an easement can also be terminated by prescription if the owner of the servient tenement excludes the easement holder from the usage of the easement for the prescribed statutory period of time.
III. Vacating or Reopening a Public Way or Easement. Anytime after the municipality closes the public way or easement, a property owner may commence an action to either vacate (i.e., foreclose) the municipality's right to reopen the closed public way or easement or to have the closed public way or easement reopened.
