Personal Property

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Personal property, roughly speaking, is private property that is moveable, as opposed to real property or real estate. In the common law systems personal property may also be called chattels or personalty. In the civil law systems personal property is often called movable property or movables - any property that can be moved from one location to another. This term is in distinction with immovable property or immovables, such as land and buildings. Movable property on land, that which was not automatically sold with the land, included many kinds of livestock; in fact the word cattle is derived from Middle English chatel, which was once synonymous with general movable personal property.
