Knoch v. Haizlip

1 Citing case

  1. Jones v. Ju

    E053266 (Cal. Ct. App. Sep. 7, 2012)

    (City of Manhattan Beach v. Superior Court (1996) 13 Cal.4th 232, 238 (City of Manhattan Beach).)An express easement may be created by contract without words of conveyance, even though a grant or reservation in a deed is more common. (See, e.g., Knoch v. Haizlip (1912) 163 Cal. 146, 149, 151-153; Golden West Baseball Co. v. City of Anaheim (1994) 25 Cal.App.4th 11, 35 (Golden West).) A document creates an easement when it manifests an intent by one landowner to give another the right to use his or her land. (Rice v. Capitol Trailer Sales of Redding (1966) 244 Cal.App.2d 690, 692-693 [easement created in trust deed encumbering the dominant tenement at time trustor also owned the servient tenement].)
