Property Ownership

An Alaska property owner grants a 'license' to a neighboring farmer to drive a tractor across their land. The neighboring farmer sells their farm to a new owner. The license:

AAutomatically transfers to the new farm owner
BTerminates — licenses are personal and do not transfer with the land✓ Correct
CBecomes an easement appurtenant upon the farm's sale
DMust be recorded to survive the sale

Explanation

Licenses are personal — they do not run with the land and cannot be transferred or inherited. When the original licensee sells their property, the license terminates. If the parties want a transferable right, they should create an easement rather than a license.
