Property Ownership
In Colorado, an easement 'appurtenant' differs from an easement 'in gross' in that:
AA. An easement appurtenant benefits a specific individual; an easement in gross benefits adjacent land
BB. An easement appurtenant benefits adjacent (dominant) land and transfers with that land; an easement in gross benefits a specific person or entity✓ Correct
CC. Both run with the land
DD. An easement in gross is always commercial
Explanation
An easement appurtenant involves two parcels — the dominant tenement (benefitted land) and the servient tenement (burdened land). It runs with the land and passes to subsequent owners.
