Real Estate Law

Real estate law is a category of law that deals with real estate contracts, foreclosure, taxes, uses, ownership, building matters, easements, right of ways, etc.  Real estate is that property that is attached to the land including houses, buildings, fences and other items permanently attached to the structures.  Personal property is that property that is not attached to the land such as cars, clothing, furniture, etc.

The concept of real estate ownership developed after the feudal period when the monarchy owned all the land.  The land of the kingdom belonged to the king and thus was the royal estate.  From this came the term real estate as private ownership developed.

Today there are several distinct areas of law devoted to the real estate industry.  Each has its own set of rules and regulation.  Some of these areas include, brokerage services, land development, property management and real estate appraisal.  Real estate law also make distinctions between residential and commercial types of real estate and their uses.
