Final answer:

An easement or servitude is the encumbrance that remains with the property even when ownership changes, as it 'runs with the land'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The encumbrance that remains with the property regardless of changes in ownership, and which runs with the land, is an easement or servitude. An easement gives certain property rights to non-owners and can include rights of way, utility line access, or other specific uses.

Unlike leaseholds, life interests, or joint tenancies, easements are typically intended to last regardless of changes in property ownership and are legally recorded to ensure they're acknowledged by future property owners.
