Which of the following rights does not transfer automatically when title to real estate is conveyed?

In the context of real estate transactions, understanding the different rights associated with property is crucial. When real estate title is conveyed, most rights transfer automatically. However, a license is distinctly different from the other options.

A license is a personal permission to use someone else's property and is typically revocable. It does not create an interest in the property itself, which means it doesn’t automatically transfer upon the sale or conveyance of the real estate. For example, if a property owner allows a friend to hunt or fish on their land, that permission (the license) can be revoked at any time and does not carry over if the property is sold.

In contrast, leases, profits, and easements are more permanent interests in the property. A lease provides a tenant with a right to occupy the property, a profit allows the holder to take materials from the land (like minerals or crops), and easements grant a right to use a portion of the land for a specific purpose (like access). These rights typically remain with the property even after a change in ownership, making them a part of the title.

Thus, recognizing the unique nature of a license helps clarify why it is the right that does not transfer automatically upon the conveyance of real estate
