Property Ownership and Land Use Practice Question

Question

A salesperson is explaining a concept to a client involving easements in gross. What should a California real estate licensee understand? (Item 107)

Answer choices

1. A. It is controlled only by local custom rather than by law, contract, or professional duty.
2. B. It is valid only when the buyer pays cash and no lender is involved.
3. C. Distinguish a personal or commercial easement right from an appurtenant parcel benefit.
4. D. It prevents any later disclosure, even when new facts become known.

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.
