Rhea owns Lot R, which is landlocked. Across Lot S lies the only access to a public road. In 2015, Rhea and the owner of Lot S executed a deed granting Rhea a 4-meter-wide easement of passage across Lot S for ingress and egress to the road. The instrument states: "This is a personal servitude in gross in favor of Rhea Realty, Inc., a corporation, for the use of the passage across Lot S to service its business operations, and it does not run with Lot R or Lot S." In 2023, Lot S was sold to Skyline Holdings, which blocks the path. In 2026, Lot R was subdivided into R1 and R2. (a) Identify the kind of easement created. (b) Explain its effect on the rights of successors in title to Lot R (dominant estate) and Lot S (servient estate). (c) If Lot R is subdivided into R1 and R2, what is the effect of the easement on those parcels and their owners?
