Core concepts
Concept 1
Distinguish the legal estate from lesser legal or equitable rights affecting use, occupation, value or transfer.
Exam cue: Separate ownership of the estate from rights exercisable over or against it.
Concept 2
Title investigation asks who owns, what is included, which rights benefit or burden the land and which restrictions affect dealing.
Exam cue: Use the title and supporting documents rather than assuming physical occupation reveals every interest.
Concept 3
Co-ownership requires attention to legal title, beneficial interests, decision authority and disposition formalities.
Concept 4
Priority and enforceability depend on the right, method of creation, registration or notice and the transaction context.

Assuming a right is enforceable against successors without checking creation and priority rules.
