Profit a Prendre refers to?

• A. The right to enter upon a property with a written agreement to the crops, minerals or timber.
• B. The right to exclusive possession of real estate.
• C. The right to vote on property taxes.
• D. The right to encroach on neighboring land.

Answer: (A)

Profit a prendre is a non-possessory real property interest that allows a person to enter the land and take specified natural resources from it, such as crops, timber, or minerals, usually under a written agreement. It does not grant ownership or exclusive possession of the land itself; instead, it gives the right to harvest those resources while the land remains with the owner. This distinguishes it from having exclusive possession of real estate, which would imply full control of the property, and from voting on property taxes or encroaching on neighboring land, which are unrelated to harvesting resources. Because the essence is the right to enter the land and remove defined resources, this best describes profit a prendre.
