Knowing My Rights – Property Law

Most of us own something, a piece of land, a house, a car, or even a small plot but how well do you actually understand the rights that come with it? For many, property law only becomes relevant when a problem arises. In everyday language, “property” simply means the things you own. But legally, it’s much more than that it’s about the rights you hold in relation to those things.

Property law governs how people relate to each other through the things they own. These rights can include ownership, possession, use, usufruct (the right to benefit from something you don’t own), servitude (like a right of way), pre-emption, and even the promise of sale. Knowing this gives you more control and protection, whether you’re safeguarding your own property or respecting someone else’s. Understanding property law isn’t just for lawyers; it’s essential for every property owner to navigate ownership confidently and protect what’s theirs.
