Real Property
The term “real estate” generally refers to ownership or use of land. The Real Property section of FindLaw’s Corporate Counsel Center provides information on matters such as asset protection during a lawsuit, security interests in investment properties, and information on the historical tension between two competing forces: the need for new housing as the population grows, and the scarcity of adequate water supplies in many of the places where new communities are emerging. Understanding general real estate issues facing your business is of great importance for corporate counsel, regardless of the company’s specific industry.
