Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
An easement is a right given to an individual to use the piece of land that is adjacent to the property which is owned by another person. It is an interest in the land that is not transferable and is not for the use of a specified person.
In the above case, the land of VS was adjacent to the park which included a frisbee golf course. The use of the walking path is an easement right of the citizens of the state that is guaranteed by the deed. VS cannot restrain the citizens from walking on the easement.

Chad Parker owned an acre of property and a mobile home on that property. He sold the mobile home to David and Allison Wilson for $1,000 and sold the property to them for $10,000. These agreements were made orally. No title or deed transfers took place. The Wilsons lived in the mobile home for seven years, making $11,228.19 of improvements to the structure and to the property. After a falling out between Chad and David, Chad had the Wilsons evicted and moved back into the mobile home. Because there was no written contract between the parties, could Chad therefore legally evict the Wilsons and legally move back into the mobile home?
