For adjacent properties, what type of right is granted?

  1. Easement In Gross

  2. Dominant Tenement

  3. Servient Tenement

  4. Easement By Necessity

The correct answer is: Easement In Gross

For adjacent properties, the type of right that is granted is an Easement In Gross. This type of easement benefits a specific individual or entity rather than the land itself. It allows the holder of the easement the right to use the land for a specific purpose, such as a utility company having the right to access a portion of a homeowner's property to maintain power lines. Options B, C, and D are not the correct answers in this scenario: - Dominant Tenement refers to the property that benefits from an easement appurtenant, not for adjacent properties. - Servient Tenement is the property that is subject to the easement rights of another party, not for adjacent properties. - Easement By Necessity is created by the courts to ensure a landlocked property has a way to access a public road, not specifically granted for adjacent properties.
