Property Rights Law

Property rights law in residential real estate governs who owns, uses, and can transfer residential property. It establishes the legal framework for ownership, affecting how properties can be bought, sold, inherited, or rented. These rights protect owners from unauthorized use or claims by others and include the right to enjoy, modify, or dispose of the property. Additionally, property rights can involve easements, zoning laws, and neighborhood covenants, which can affect how properties can be used. Understanding these rights is essential for anyone involved in buying, selling, or maintaining residential real estate.
