Other <br /> courts reflect the position of s . 488 of the First Restatement <br /> of Property and indicate that this will be the case unless the <br /> manner or terms of its transfer limit the movement of the <br /> benefit of the easement. These courts reflect a presumption <br /> that the easement is divisible unless there are clear <br /> indications to the contrary . A third group of cases states <br /> that the benefit of the easement passes upon subdivision <br /> unless there is a material increase in the burden imposed on <br /> the servient parcel . <br /> CONCLUSION: <br /> The law is applied to the facts of this case lease me to the <br /> conclusion that the benefit of the easements for ingress/egress <br /> will pass to all portions of the dominant lot upon subdivision. <br /> While Wisconsin does not appear to have adopted any particular line <br /> of reasoning or cases in this area, a strong argument can be made <br /> that the proposed subdivision would qualify under all three and <br /> that it does not contain any fatal flaws . Of critical importance <br /> are the absence of any language limiting the easements , and the <br /> extreme unlikelihood that another home or two will result in a <br /> material increase in the burden imposed upon the servient estate . <br /> -3- <br />
