    Fundamentals of Real Estate

    • Example of literal: a book.
    • Example of legal: property rights over land.

    Three Kinds of Things

    • Res Nullius: Things belonging to no one, the object of appropriation, e.g., wild animals, abandoned items.
    • Res Communes: Things belonging to everyone, for public use, e.g., air, ocean. Not subject to appropriation or private ownership.
    • Res Alicujus: Things belonging to someone, privately owned, either individually or collectively.

    Property

    • Real Property: Land and improvements (buildings, etc.) permanently attached.
    • Real Estate: Rights, benefits, and interests related to real property ownership.
    • Includes rights in the land and surrounding space, including below the surface to the center of the Earth.
    • Real property is not a physical concept; it's a bundle of rights
