Practice question
A valid voluntary-easement title expressly provides that the right ends upon a specified event, and that lawful condition occurs. The dominant owner argues voluntary easements can never terminate because Castro protected a grant after necessity ended. Which is correct?
- Article 631 recognizes fulfillment of a valid terminating condition; Castro does not make every grant unconditional or indestructible
- Every voluntary easement is eternal despite its title
- No condition may ever be included
- Only the width matters
- The event automatically transfers both estates
