Real Estate Legal Topics

The easiest way to conceptualize real estate rights is to visualize a bundle of sticks. Each stick may be separated, and given, bartered, bought and sold. Real estate may be subdivided into many different interest - surface rights, minerals, leases, joint ownership, limit uses, easements, and an almost unlimited list of various contractual rights and options that attach to a single tract of land.

In bankruptcy courts, real estate interests comprise the single largest asset category administered through Chapter 7 & 13 files. The great majority of all real estate legal issues arising in the course of a case administration are resolved under state real estate laws.
