Property Ownership and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A seller is reviewing documents before accepting an offer involving easements in gross. What should a California real estate licensee understand? (Item 87)
Answer choices
- A. It requires the licensee to favor the other party over the licensee’s own client.
- B. It is primarily a tax rule with no effect on brokerage practice.
- C. Distinguish a personal or commercial easement right from an appurtenant parcel benefit.
- D. It removes the need for written disclosure if the licensee believes the client already knows.
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.
