[WSBARP] Prescriptive easement & subdivision

[Craig Sjostrom]

Client has a rural parcel that he's living on. He has a record access
easement but it's physically unusable. Instead, he's been using an alternate
route in and out, for probably 25 years, most likely sufficient to support a
prescriptive easement claim.

 

Client wants to subdivide his property.  If he were to obtain a quiet title
decree awarding a prescriptive easement over his existing road, would it be
able to serve the existing lot plus a new one subdivided out later? I tend
to think not, but am curious as to what others think about it.

 

Thanks

 

Craig
