(This question is from 14th topic of the Outline). 1. INTRODUCTION: Property refers to anything that can be owned, including land, buildings, or personal items. It can be acquired in various ways, such as buying, inheriting, receiving as a gift, or creating something new. Understanding these modes helps in managing and protecting one’s possessions.

DERIVATION OF WORD PERSON: The term "property" comes from the Latin word "proprietas," which means ownership. It originally referred to a person’s belongings or assets, emphasizing the concept of possessing something. 6.

Example: Land: A defined area of ground, which can include fields, plots, or estates. Buildings: Structures such as houses, offices, and factories permanently constructed on land.
• Real Property: Land and any structures permanently attached to it, including both the physical land and the rights associated with it.
