Easements by necessity remain attached to the dominant estate even if they are not used for a long time

The Idaho Supreme Court held, in Easterling v. Clark, 574 P.3d 349 (Idaho 2025), that statutes of limitation that require suit within four years of the claim accruing did not apply to easements by necessity because owners of land benefited by such easements have vested interests in the right to reach a public way. Non-use for a long time does not result in a loss of rights.
