Property
Overview
American property law draws heavily on English law. Property is often described as a “bundle” of rights. The “sticks” that make up the bundle of rights include the right to exclude, the right to transfer, and the right to possess and use. Some rights are stronger or “thicker” than others. Ownership is the thickest right in the bundle of sticks. All of these rights have limits, which are discussed throughout this chart.
