Allen and Barker are equal tenants in common of a strip of land 10 feet wide and 100 feet deep which lies between the lots on which their respective homes are situated. Both Allen and Barker need the use of the 10-foot strip as a driveway, and each fears that a new neighbor might seek partition and leave him with an unusable five-foot strip. The best advice about how to solve their problem is
a covenant against partition. an indenture granting cross easements in the undivided half interest of each. partition into two separate five-foot-wide strips and an indenture granting cross easements. a trust to hold the strip in perpetuity
