Deeds are instruments used to record ownership interests. When you purchase or otherwise come into ownership of real estate such as a house, you gain an ownership interest in it. Ownership interests in real estate can be solely held or divided among several people.
Real property is also referred to as real estate, realty, or land. Personal property is property that is not real property. Personal property is also sometimes called chattel or personalty. An interest in real property where there is no ownership interest is referred to as a chattel real. A mortgage lender's security interest and a lease interest are examples of chattel real.
