KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – In Gross
In gross describes a legal right that exists independently and is not attached to ownership of land. Certain property rights, such as profits à prendre, may exist in gross and benefit a person regardless of whether they own nearby land.
This concept contrasts with easements, which must always be attached to a dominant piece of land. The distinction is important in land law, as it determines how rights can be transferred, enforced, or extinguished.
