A public utility company is installing power lines across several counties. Will the utility company be more likely to be granted an easement appurtenant or an easement in gross?
Answer(s): C
An easement in gross benefits a person or entity, rather than another parcel of land. Unlike an easement appurtenant, which requires a dominant and servient estate (two adjoining parcels), an easement in gross does not require ownership of adjacent property.Utility companies (electric, gas, water, sewer, cable) typically hold easements in gross, allowing them to install and maintain lines across multiple properties. The easement is granted to the utility company, not to a neighboring landowner.Therefore, the correct answer is C.

A buyer and broker enter into a 3-month exclusive buyer agency agreement. With regard to the broker's right to be compensated and to work with other clients, this means that during the term of this agreement, the broker
Under an Exclusive Buyer Agency Agreement, the buyer agrees that the broker is their exclusive representative during the term. This creates a contractual right for the broker to be compensated regardless of who finds the property. If the buyer purchases any property during the agreement period (even one they personally locate or one listed by another brokerage), the broker is still entitled to commission as agreed.The broker is not restricted from showing properties to other buyers at the same time, as fiduciary obligations run individually to each client.
