Property Ownership
A Mississippi property owner grants a 'license' (not an easement) to a neighbor to use a private road. A license differs from an easement in that a license:
ACreates a permanent right of access
BIs revocable at the grantor's will and does not create a property interest✓ Correct
CRequires a deed to be effective
DRuns with the land automatically
Explanation
A license is a personal, revocable permission to use another's land — it does not create a property interest and cannot be assigned or inherited. Unlike an easement, a license can generally be revoked at any time by the property owner. Licenses are personal and expire with the death of either party.
