Property Ownership
What is the difference between an easement in gross and an easement appurtenant in Nevada?
ABoth are personal rights that cannot be transferred
BAn easement in gross benefits a person or entity personally; an easement appurtenant benefits adjacent land and runs with that land when sold✓ Correct
CAn easement in gross runs with the land; an easement appurtenant does not
DBoth are identical under Nevada law
Explanation
An easement appurtenant benefits a specific parcel of land (dominant tenement) over another (servient tenement) and transfers automatically when the dominant parcel is sold. An easement in gross benefits a person or entity (like a utility company) without a dominant tenement — it is personal.
