12. A mаn cоnveyed the eаstern hаlf оf a tract оf vacant land to a woman by a warranty deed. The woman promptly recorded the deed. The land conveyed to the woman fronted on a public highway. The land retained by the man was landlocked.   One year later, the man died intestate, leaving a cousin as his only heir. The cousin visited the man’s land for the first time and discovered that it had no access to a public highway. A neighbor who owned adjoining land fronting on the public highway offered to sell the cousin a right to cross the neighbor’s land for access to the highway. Although the neighbor’s price was reasonable, the cousin rejected the offer. The woman has refused to allow the cousin to cross her land for access to the public highway even though the woman’s land is still vacant.   The cousin has sued the woman, seeking access across the woman’s land to the public highway.   Who is likely to prevail?
