To gain access to a nearby road, what might owner B seek if their property is landlocked?

  1. An adjacent property

  2. A court order for removal

  3. Easement by necessity

  4. A public right of way

The correct answer is: Easement by necessity

When a property is landlocked, it means that the owner does not have any direct access to a road or public right of way. In order to gain access, owner B would seek an easement by necessity, which is a legal right to use another person’s land for a specific purpose, in this case, to use the adjacent property to reach the road. The other options, such as seeking an adjacent property or a court order for removal, would not provide a direct solution to gaining access to the road. Seeking a public right of way would also not be applicable in this situation as the property is landlocked and does not have any direct access to a public road. Therefore, the correct answer is C, easement by necessity.
