Common Law Property Rights

Common law property rights refer to the legal principles that determine how property is owned and transferred. Under common law, individuals have the right to possess, use, and transfer their property as they see fit, provided they do not infringe on others' rights. These rights can include ownership of land, personal belongings, and intellectual property. Disputes over property are typically resolved based on established legal precedents. In essence, common law property rights provide a framework for individuals and entities to assert their ownership and manage their assets within the bounds of the law.
