Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
If I buy a piece of land for which the owner secured an easement, which provided for access to the river, thirty years later, I buy the same owner. Does that easement automatically come to me as the new owner?

It should, unless there is some intervening fact that you are not telling us or unaware of. For example, if the owner of the dominant parcel owned both the dominant and servient parcels after easement creation, the easement may be legally deemed to be extinguished. I suggest speaking with an attorney and gathering relevant documents to get a definitive answer.
Without knowing what you mean by "thirty years later, I buy the same owner" there is no way to answer your question. Easements run with land, not people. You need to explain your situation more clearly and re-ask your question.
It depends on what the easement says. Do you have a copy? DOes it run with the land?
