Interest An interest describes any right, claim or privilege that an individual has towards real property. The law recognizes various types of interests in real property. A nonpossessory interest in land is the right of one person to use or to restrict the use of land that belongs to another person.
Property law governs ownership and possession. Real property, sometimes called 'real estate', refers to ownership of land and things attached to it. Personal property, refers to everything else; movable objects, such as computers, cars, jewelry or intangible rights, such as stocks and shares.
