Pedrag has the fee simple in a piece of property called Blackacre.Trish acquired a profit à prendre with respect to the annual crop of canola that grows on Blackacre.That interest will last for five years.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A profit à prendre is a nonpossessory interest in land that allows the holder to take or remove something from the land that belongs to the landowner. In this case, Trish has the right to take the annual crop of canola from Blackacre for a period of five years. This interest can be held separately from ownership of the land itself, so it is possible for Trish to hold the profit à prendre without having title to the dominant tenement (i.e. the land itself). Choices A and C are incorrect because they provide misleading or inaccurate information that is unrelated to the scenario presented. Choice B is incorrect because there is no information to suggest that Trish acquired her interest from the Crown, and it is just as likely that she acquired it from Pedrag or another party. Choice D is incorrect because Trish does not actually own the canola crop until she harvests it, at which point it becomes her personal property.
