 Alfred L. Arcidi, Jr. v. Town of Rye
In this case, the plaintiff relies upon the nonpossessory nature of the town’s easement in gross over VPI’s property to argue that the town could not obtain the right to use the appurtenant easement over the plaintiff’s property because the town does not have a possessory right in the dominant estate.
We agree that, because it is a nonpossessory interest, the pumping station easement cannot serve as the dominant estate to the appurtenant easement over the plaintiff’s property.
As a result of VPI’s continued possession of the land burdened by the town’s pumping station easement, the easement relationship between VPI and the plaintiff remains unchanged.

The right to take water from a spring or pond on another's land is a profit, as may be the right to harvest timber or crops on another's land or, in some circumstances, the right to remove minerals from another's land.
While a nonpossessory interest in land, it is often said that a license does nor rise to the dignity of an easement or profit.
An easement or profit which benefits another estate in land is an easement appurtenant or a profit appurtenant, that is, it is appurtenant to the benefited estate and will pass with a conveyance of the benefited estate.

A method of acquiring a nonpossessory interest in land through the long, continuous use of the land.

 Real Estate
Real estate or immovable property is a legal term (in some jurisdictions) that encompasses land along with anything permanently affixed to the land, such as buildings.
In most advanced economies, the main source of capital used by individuals and small companies to purchase and improve land and buildings is mortgage loans --bank loans for which the real property itself constitutes collateral.
Banks are willing to make such loans at favorable rates in large part because, if the borrower does not make payments, the lender can foreclose by filing a court action that lets them take back the property and sell it to get their money back.

The easement appurtenant does not exist apart from the land to which it is attached. Whether an easement is appurtenant or in gross is determined by an interpretation of the grant or reservation, aided, if necessary by the situation of the property and the surrounding circumstances.
Generally, where one person owns an entire tract of land, there is no necessity for creation of an easement on one part of the land for the benefit of another part of the land during its ownership.

Liens are also "perfected" or "unperfected." Perfected liens are those liens for which a creditor has taken the steps required by law to give third parties notice of his interest in the property in which a lien is claimed.
Perfecting a lien is an important part of the task of protecting the secured creditor's interest in the property.
A perfected lien is valid against bona fide purchasers of property, and even against a Trustee in Bankruptcy; an unperfected lien may not be.

 Riparian water rights Summary
If someone bought land on a river and simply let it flow past, for instance, someone else could acquire a right to that water by putting it to use.
These rights cannot be sold or transferred other than with the adjoining land, and water cannot be transferred out of the watershed.

 Musick Peeler & Garrett LLP
The court stated that “[t]he right to possess property on the lease commencement date is a contractual right that does not mature into a property right until possession actually occurs.” The court noted that in that respect, a nonpossessing tenant has no greater property rights than an easement holder.
The insured also argued that the claimant alleged that the failure to deliver the premises caused the claimant to suffer a “loss of use” of personal property, i.e., the inventory of new vehicles.
The court rejected that argument as an unreasonable interpretation of the phrase, stating that the insured’s conduct caused intangible, economic damages from the inability to use the land to sell the vehicles.
