Property Ownership and Land Use Practice Question

Question

An escrow officer requests clarification from the broker involving easements in gross. What should a California real estate licensee understand? (Item 7)

Answer choices

1. A. It is optional whenever both parties verbally agree to proceed.
2. B. It allows a salesperson to act independently of the responsible broker.
3. C. Distinguish a personal or commercial easement right from an appurtenant parcel benefit.
4. D. It shifts all responsibility to escrow and eliminates the broker’s duties.

Correct Answer

C. Distinguish a personal or commercial easement right from an appurtenant parcel benefit.

Explanation

The correct answer is C because easements in gross requires candidates to distinguish a personal or commercial easement right from an appurtenant parcel benefit. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
