When you are talking about easements and profits à prendre, you need to understand what some words mean. You will see the word 'grantee' which refers to the person who owns the land that benefits from the easement or profit à prendre. This can be the registered owner of the land or the Sovereign if the land is owned by the Crown. You will also see the word 'grantor' which refers to the person who owns the land that is affected by the easement or profit à prendre. This can be the registered owner of the land or the Sovereign if the land is owned by the Crown. The term 'rights and powers' includes terms, conditions, and covenants, which are all part of the agreement. You can find more information about this by looking at s 90E. This will help you understand the rules around easements and profits à prendre. It is a good idea to check the legislation for the most up-to-date information.
