Which concept typically involves indefinite duration of land ownership?

• A. Leasehold.
• B. Easement.
• C. Freehold estate.
• D. License.

Answer: (C)

Indefinite duration of land ownership refers to owning land with no predetermined end date. This is a characteristic of a freehold estate, such as ownership in fee simple, where the owner holds the land for an unlimited period and can transfer it or pass it on to heirs. In contrast, a leasehold is a tenancy for a fixed term, so the right to possess ends after a set period. An easement is a non-possessory right to use someone else’s land, not ownership of the land itself. A license is permission to use land that is typically revocable and does not confer ownership. So the concept that involves indefinite ownership is a freehold estate.
