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.
