Personal property is generally considered property that is movable, as opposed to real property or real estate. In common law systems, personal property may also be called chattels or personalty. In civil law systems, personal property is often called movable property or movables – any property that can be moved from one location to another (Wikipedia)
Real property is property in the form of land, what lies beneath the land, and objects fixed to the land. For example, if someone owns a house, this is considered real property, as are the mineral deposits underneath the house and the land the house physically stands on. People may refer to real property as real estate or immovable property. The common law terms equivalent to immovable property are “real property” or “real estate.” (WiseGEEK)
When a bankruptcy case is filed with a court, a bankruptcy estate, which includes all of a debtor’s legal and equitable interests, is formed. Typically, the estate is subject to the bankruptcy court’s jurisdiction, and it is reviewed by a court-appointed bankruptcy trustee. The trustee generally represents the creditors’ interests in the suit. During the bankruptcy proceedings, the estate becomes the legal owner of the debtor’s tangible and intangible assets. Assets held in a bankruptcy estate are frequently sold by the trustee in order to pay off the debtor’s outstanding obligations. (WiseGEEK)
