GLOSSARY TERM GUIDEBuild the complete exam definition
Learn the rule, separate it from the nearest distractor, then apply it to a Georgia fact pattern.
What does License in real property mean?
A license in real property is personal, revocable permission to enter or use another person's land for a stated purpose. It ordinarily creates no interest in the land.
How do you separate the nearest exam answer?
A license is permission and is generally revocable. An easement is a property right that may bind successors according to its creation and recording.
What changes or stays the same in Georgia?
The national distinction applies in Georgia. Written facts, payment, reliance, and other circumstances can matter in actual disputes, but exam questions usually test revocable permission versus an easement right.
An owner allows a neighbor to park in the driveway during a weekend event and may withdraw that permission later.
Repeated use does not automatically transform permission into an easement.

GLOSSARY TERM GUIDERetrieve the rule under exam conditions
Answer before reading the explanation. Then explain why every distractor belongs to a different term.
An owner lets a neighbor park a boat trailer in the side yard each summer, with no written agreement and no payment. After five years the owner asks the neighbor to stop. What right does the neighbor have?
- A
An easement appurtenant, due to years of use
- B
Title by adverse possession after five years
- C
A license that the owner may revoke
- D
An easement in gross that cannot be revoked
Permission to use land creates a license, which is personal and generally revocable. Repeated use does not turn permission into an easement. Permissive use is not hostile, and Georgia adverse possession requires 20 years, or 7 under color of title.
