considered to be as realty, real property, real estate, or immovable property inclusive of
crops, machinery, roads, buildings, mines, wells, canals, ponds and wells. In case of real
property, the title of the property vested with such a person who has both lawful
possession and ownership over the property. A written document is necessary while
transferring the property or land from one person to another.

b) Personal Property
Under the system of common law, the movable property is considered to be personal
property and it can also called as chattels or personalty. Similarly, under the civil law,
personal property is sometimes called as movable property or movables. The specialty of
this property is that it can be moved from one place to another. This property can be
divided into two categories, such as tangible property and intangible property. An
individual can feel tangible properties but intangible properties are those which cannot be
felt.
The personal properties of the golf resort are:
Tangible: Computers, furniture, and kitchen utensils.
Intangible: Goodwill of the resort.
