Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Erin gave Hank the right to use a specific portion of her land (the road) for a specific purpose (access to the highway) without transferring ownership or possession of the land. This is the definition of an easement. A profit is a right to take something from the land (like fishing or mining) and does not involve use of the land itself. A fee simple defeasible is a conditional ownership, and a license is a personal, revocable permission to use the land.
