Real Property vs. Personal Property
In legal terms, there are two different types of property: real and personal. This distinction between types of property comes from English common law, but our modern laws continue to make the distinction. Each type of property is treated differently under the law and there are many types of laws that distinguish between real property and personal property. During or before a divorce, it could be extremely helpful to know the differences between each one. Differences Between Property Types
Personal property is anything that can be moved. It’s anything that can be subject to ownership, except land. Real property is property that cannot be moved. It is land and anything that is attached to the land. Most of the time a piece of property can easily be classified as either personal property or real property because the difference between the two is usually straightforward, but sometimes it’s a little more difficult to distinguish between the two.
