Estate

Introduction to Estate

Estate, in law, the degree of interest or ownership that a person has in property. The term estate is also used in a more general sense to denote the whole property possessed by an individual, for example, the estate of a deceased person. Sometimes debts are also included in this wide meaning, with all rights and duties regarded as a single entity. Estate in this sense of “the total belongings of a person” is divided into realty, or real estate, and personal estate.” (1)
