            A. When in the case of judicial partition, or a voluntary alienation of an estate or of a part thereof, property alienated or partitioned becomes enclosed, passage shall be furnished gratuitously to the owner and the owner's successors even if the location of the passage is not the shortest route to the public road, and even if the act of alienation or partition does not mention a right of passage.
