Alabama Real Estate Practice Exam

Can encumbrances include easements and liens?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only easements

4. Only liens

The correct answer is: Yes

Both easements and liens are examples of encumbrances, which are restrictions on the use and transfer of a property. An easement is a right of way or use of someone else's property, while a lien is a legal claim on a property for unpaid debts or taxes. Therefore, it is possible for encumbrances to include both easements and liens. Option B is incorrect because both easements and liens can be considered encumbrances. Option C and D are incorrect because they limit the scope of encumbrances and do not mention the possibility of including both easements and liens.
