no basis for an express easement here. See Simons v. Simons, 134 Idaho 824, 828, 11 P.3d 20, 24 (2000) (stating that the intention of the parties must be ascertained from the text of an unambiguous deed). Lot 2 is therefore not the dominant estate of an easement over lot 1. The Cowards nonetheless contend that they are Daughters’s “assigns” entitled to benefit from the easement, because he owned all three lots when he executed the 1922 deed, and they are his successors in interest to lot 2. The phrase “heirs and assigns,” however, creates an appurtenant easement that runs with the dominant estate — not to servient estates. Johnson v. Gustafson, 49 Idaho 376, 381, 288 P. 427, 429 (1930); see also Boijdstun Beach Ass’n v. Allen, 111 Idaho 370, 375-76, 723 P.2d 914, 919-20 (Ct.App.1986) (<HOLDING>). Moreover, this Court has unequivocally held
recognizing that the dominant easement owner not the servient estate owner bears responsibility for maintaining an easement holding that the burden on the servient estate cannot be increased without the consent of the owners of the servient estate and that the owner of the dominant estate to which the appurtenant easement is attached has no power to convey or expand use of that easement in connection with a tract of land owned by another holding that an easement is not a separate estate when dominant and servient tracts are under the same ownership holding that the owner of the dominant tenement may extinguish an easement appurtenant by specifically excluding it from a conveyance of the dominant estate holding that an express easement ran with the dominant estate
