All servitudes which affect lands may be divided into two classes, personal and real. Personal servitudes are those which are inseparably attached to the person in whose benefit they have been established, and which terminate with his life. Such servitudes are of three kinds: usufruct, use and habitation. Real servitudes, also called predial servitudes, are those enjoyed by the owner of a tenement and established on another tenement in benefit of the former. Predial servitudes are so called because, being established for the benefit of an estate, the obligations constituting it are due to the estate, and not to the person who may be the owner thereof. History —Civil Code, 1930, § 467.
