The Difference Between Real Property and Personal Property Real property is land and anything attached to it, while personal property refers to movable items. For example, a house on a plot of land is real property, while the furniture inside is personal property.
A classic example of intangible personal property is a bank account. However, there are some versions of personal property that may be considered real property at a certain point, like fixtures in your home.
Probate is required if: the estate includes real property (land, house, inium, mineral rights) of any value, and/or. the estate has assets (other than land, and not including cars) whose net worth is more than $100,000.
While a gift of real property is known as a “devise,” a gift of personal property is a “bequest.” There is little or no substantive difference between a bequest and a devise for legal purposes.
Land: The most basic form of real property is the land itself. This doesn't just refer to the surface—the rights can extend below and above, including mineral rights and air rights. Buildings and Structures: Any buildings, homes, or other structures that are permanently affixed to the land are considered real property.
