Property Ownership and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A broker is supervising a transaction file involving easements in gross. What should a California real estate licensee understand? (Item 127)
Answer choices
- A. It is optional whenever both parties verbally agree to proceed.
- B. It allows a salesperson to act independently of the responsible broker.
- C. Distinguish a personal or commercial easement right from an appurtenant parcel benefit.
- 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.
