Real Estate Law - Real estate refers to something permanently fixed to the land such as a building. Real estate is synonymous of real property and sometimes called realty.

Property Law - Property law is the law that governs the various forms of ownership in real property and in personal property.

Real estate transactions are governed by a wide body of federal statutes and state statutory and common law. The requirements established by state law often differ significantly from one state to the next.

Property law is the area of law that governs the various forms of ownership in real property (land as distinct from personal or movable possessions) and in personal property, within the common law legal system. In the civil law system, there is a division between movable and immovable property. Movable property roughly corresponds to personal property, while immovable property corresponds to real estate or real property, and the associated rights and obligations thereon.
