What is Real Property?
Land and anything permanently attached to it, such as buildings or structures. In probate, real property may need to be appraised, sold, or distributed among heirs.
Refers to land and any permanent structures or improvements attached to it, such as homes, buildings, and other real estate. In probate and trust litigation, real property is often one of the most valuable assets to be distributed, and disputes may arise over ownership, valuation, or the proper division of the property among beneficiaries. Real property transfers often require formal documentation, such as deeds, and may need to go through probate if the decedent did not leave specific instructions in a trust or will.
