Generally speaking, real estate refers to real estate and buildings, but it also includes planting crops. Everything else-money, stocks and bonds, jewelry, cars, truckloads of wood, IOUs, bank deposits-is personal property. We are all interested in real estate, because we all live somewhere; We also work, study and travel somewhere. Everyone is a renter or homeowner, or lives with a renter or homeowner. But for most of us, as far as the law is concerned, the word "property" mainly refers to real estate; Personal property is secondary. In fact, personal property is a minor field in law. There is no single field of law that specifically focuses on personal property. Personal property is the content of contract law, commercial law, bankruptcy law and, yes, tort law. But there are so many special laws about real estate that it is meaningful to regard it as an independent legal field. Property law is still one of the basic branches of law, and real estate is an important branch of legal practice. However, from a legal point of view, property law is only a shadow of its predecessor. In fact, if you look at it in the long run, one of the main developments of our system is the relative decline of real estate law. In medieval England, it is only a little exaggerated to say that land law is the law of land. When blackstone published his "comments" in the middle of18th century, the whole volume was about land law. A modern Blackstone group will reduce this theme to a small part of this large part-at most 5% of the whole law or 10%.
The above paragraphs are about the basic knowledge of property law, mainly about the classification of property. For reference only.
