erican Law Institute has adopted as a guiding principle that the law of servitudes is "an integrated body of doctrine encompassing the rules applicable to profits, easements, and covenants." Generally, all servitudes "are functionally similar, and … for the most part they are, or should be, governed by the same rules."15 When we look at how interests are "governed by the same rules" under this new Restatement, the crucial distinction becomes apparent: "appurtenant … burdens pass automatically,"16 but a "burden in gross is simply a contract obligation."17 Since conservation easements are not intended to benefit land trusts as owners of adjoining property, these developing reforms in common law land use coordination devices do not solve the problem.
