Acquiring a right to cross a property through habitual use with the permission of the owner is called an easement by prescription. Adverse possession is when someone takes possession of someone else's property without permission and without compensation. Profit à prendre refers to the right to take or use something from someone else's property, such as hunting or fishing rights. A dominant tenement is a property that benefits from an easement over another property. An estate in land refers to ownership of property as a whole.
