Which of the following is not a method by which easements are created?

Easements can be established through several recognized methods in property law. The method of condemnation, which involves the government taking private property for public use, is primarily related to the acquirement of land rather than the creation of easements. Condemnation typically results in compensation to the property owner for the taking of their property, but it does not inherently create easements; it usually leads to the establishment of ownership or rights in a different context.

On the other hand, easements can be created by necessity, where a landlocked property requires access to a public roadway, or by mutual agreement between parties, which reflects a shared understanding about the use of a portion of land. Additionally, easements can be implied, arising from circumstances surrounding the use of the property that suggest the need for the easement to continue its use effectively. Each of these methods serves to establish a right to use a portion of another's land, unlike condemnation, which focuses on ownership and is not a method of easement creation.
