Which type of covenant does not transfer from one owner to another?

A covenant in gross is a type of covenant that is personal to a specific individual rather than benefiting a particular piece of property. This means that the rights and obligations established in a covenant in gross do not automatically pass to subsequent owners of the property as it is based on the relationship between the original parties involved rather than being tied to the land itself.

In contrast, covenants appurtenant are tied to the land and benefit the current owner of the dominant estate, transferring with the property when it changes hands. Real covenants also generally bind successors in ownership because they relate to the use of the land. Conveyances refer to the act of transferring property rights, which does not directly relate to covenants. Understanding these distinctions is critical in real estate, as it affects how obligations and rights are handled during property transfers.
