Question

Does the sale of the property terminate a verbal license?

a) No, a license runs with the land.
b) Yes, a license ends with the sale of the land.
c) No, because a license is an easement and runs with the land.
d) Yes, but must give a 30-day written notice.

Answer 1

No, a verbal license does not terminate with the sale of the property. It runs with the land.

Step-by-step explanation:

A verbal license is permission granted by one person to another to use their property for a specific purpose. In general, a verbal license is a personal privilege that can be terminated by either party at any time. However, the sale of the property does not automatically terminate a verbal license.

The correct answer is option a). No, a license runs with the land. This means that a license can be binding on subsequent owners of the property, and the license will continue even after the property is sold.

For example, if the previous owner granted a verbal license to someone to access their property to use a driveway, the new owner of the property would also be bound by that verbal license and must allow the license holder to continue using the driveway.
