Proprietary rights refer to a person's rights over a piece of land as an owner
Personal rights over land, on the other hand, are rights that can be enjoyed by a person without owning the land
A characteristic of personal rights over land is that they are limited and can be terminated
A person's rights over a piece of land typically include the right to use, occupy, and possess the land, but may not include the right to sell or transfer ownership
A distinguishing factor between proprietary and personal rights over land is the level of control and permanence of the rights, with proprietary rights generally being more comprehensive and long-term
