Which statement best defines an easement in gross?
Correct Answer:
Easement in gross
Explanation:
An easement in gross is a property interest that benefits a person or entity rather than a specific piece of land. Because the benefit is attached to the holder rather than to a parcel, it does not run with a dominant tenement tied to land ownership. Utility companies often hold easements in gross to cross various properties for lines or pipelines; the right stays with the holder even as land changes hands (subject to the instrument). This differs from an appurtenant easement, which is tied to a specific parcel of land and transfers with that land to future owners. A license is just permission to use land that can usually be revoked; a servitude is a broader term for a burden on land that can include easements and related rights.
