Going back on my ancient memory of property law, easements in gross were personal, non-assignable, etc. Does this change with an LLC? I mean, in theory, an LLC can have perpetual duration and change members etc. Its not completely relevant to what client is trying to do and I do not believe he intends to assign it or leave it in his will in any event but I do wonder if somehow it could make the easement grant fail if that makes any sense. I know of course that Cell Towers and Pipelines all have easements in gross, technically, but am thinking that there must be a specific law/regulation that gets them around the typical pitfalls of an easement in gross.
