Easement in Gross

Definition of 'Easement in Gross'

According to Investopedia, an easement in gross is a type of easement where the right over property is attached to an individual rather than to the property.

What is an Easement in Gross:

Being attached to the individual, the easement in gross is usually a lifetime easement. It can be revoked, however, if the individual sells the property. In this case, the easement in gross cannot be passed to the next property owner, which means that a new easement agreement needs to be made with the new owners of the property.
