U.S. Property Law

U.S. property law governs the rights and interests individuals and entities have in land and possessions. It defines how property is acquired, used, transferred, and protected, including ownership rights, leases, and mortgages. The law distinguishes between real property (land and buildings) and personal property (movable objects). It also addresses issues like boundary disputes, easements, and zoning. Overall, property law aims to balance owners' rights with community interests, ensuring clear transactions and legal protections for property interests.
