 Profit (real estate) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Courts will construe a profit as being in gross unless the profit is expressly designated as being appurtenant.
Like an easement, profits can be created expressly by an agreement between the property owner and the owner of the profit, or by prescription, where the owner of the profit has made "open and notorious" use of the land for a continuous and uninterrupted statutory period.
Therefore, profits by prescription will virtually always be profits in gross.
