Practice question
Three siblings co-own an undivided parcel. Two consent to a voluntary easement over it, but the third expressly withholds consent. A consenting sibling later tries personally to obstruct the very exercise she granted. Which statement reflects Article 691?
- Two votes completed the burden over the whole parcel
- The third sibling’s property interest disappears
- The consenting siblings can bind every co-owner by majority vote
- Imposition remains in abeyance pending unanimous consent, but a separate consenting co-owner and that co-owner’s successors are bound not to prevent exercise of the granted right
- All prior consent is legally meaningless for every purpose
