Quitclaim Deed Terminating Easement
Understanding this form

Unlike other forms of property transfer, this quitclaim deed does not guarantee that the grantor possesses any ownership rights; it merely conveys whatever interest might exist.

Explanation: An owner cannot have an easement in her own land. Therefore, if the owner of the dominant tenement obtains ownership of the servient tenement, the easement is terminated by merger.
Generally, the owner of any easement has a duty to maintain the easement. If the easement is owned by more than one person, or is attached parcels of land under different ownership, each owner must share in the cost of maintaining the easement pursuant to their agreement.
Easements may be extinguished by abandonment. Abandonment takes place whenever cessation of use occurs accompanied by a clear intent never to use the easement again. Mere nonuse does not constitute aban- donment. However, the intent may be inferred from the circumstances if such evidence is clear and definite.
