| | Trust (property) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Unlike an express or implied trust, a constructive trust is not created by an agreement between a settlor and the trustee; rather a constructive trust is imposed on the trustee by the law. | | | However, since the use of the trust is so widespread, some civil law jurisdictions have incorporated trusts into their civil codes. | | | Trusts developed out of the English law of equity which has no direct equivalent in civil law jurisdictions. |

| | Property law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Property law is the 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. | | | The modern law of landlord and tenant in common law jurisdictions retains the influence of the common law and, particularly, the laissez-faire philosophy that dominated the law of contract and the law of property in the 19th century. | | | The most usual way of acquiring an interest in property is as the result of a consensual transaction with the previous owner, for example, a sale of a gift. |

| | ANTITRUST GUIDELINES FOR THE LICENSING OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY |
| | Intellectual property laws promote innovation and commercial activity by establishing enforceable property rights for the creators of (and investors in) new and useful products, more efficient processes, and original works of expression. | | | The IP Antitrust Guidelines expressly recognize that the protection of intellectual property rights is in accord with the objectives of antitrust law, i.e., the promotion of technological advancements and the protection of consumer welfare. | | | The IP Antitrust Guidelines define a "safety zone." Absent extraordinary circumstances, the government will not challenge a restraint in an intellectual property licensing arrangement if (1) the restraint is not "facially anticompetitive" and (2) the licensor and its licensee collectively account for no more than 20% of each relevant market significantly affected by the restraint. |

| | Can I include property in my trust on which I still owe money? | | | For a basic shared trust there are three schedules: one for property owned solely by the wife; one for property owned solely by the husband; and one for property owned jointly by the husband and wife. | | | Nevertheless, in the event of a divorce, a court in a separate property state will distribute all of the property acquired by both spouses in a manner deemed to be "equitable" or fair in each case. |

| | Texas Real Estate Law |
| | Real estate law often is referred to as the law of real property--the land and buildings upon land--to distinguish it from the law of personal property, which includes all other property. | | | Real estate taxes are calculated by multiplying the taxable value of a piece of property by the tax rate. | | | However, because lenders generally want cash and not real estate, there is no guarantee that a lender will accept a deed offered in lieu of foreclosure. |

| | Intellectual property - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In law, intellectual property (IP) is a broad entitlement extending the concept of property beyond its materialist definitions to include information, ideas, and other intangible assets in their expressed form. | | | The basic public policy rationale for the protection of intellectual property is that IP laws facilitate and encourage the pursuit and disclosure of innovation into the public domain for the common good, by granting authors and inventors exclusive rights to exploit their works and invention for a limited period. | | | The exclusive rights granted by intellectual property laws are generally positive in nature, and therefore only grant the holder of IP the exclusive ability to take certain action, rather than the ability to exclude a third party from taking that action. |

| | A Positive Account of Property Rights |
| | The central project of this essay has been to give an account of rights, especially property rights, that is both amoral and alegal&emdash;an account that would explain the sort of behavior we associate with rights even in a world lacking law, law enforcement, and feelings of moral obligation. | | | After agreeing on our mutual property rights, you offer me a bushel of apples to cut down a tree that is shading your orchard. | | | Even if one accepts an account, such as that of Locke, of how initial acquisition might justly have occurred, that account provides little justification for the existing pattern of property rights, given the high probability that any piece of property has been unjustly seized at least once since it was first cleared. |

| | Trust Law in Canada: An Introduction |
| | An oddity of the law of trusts is that once the subject matter of the trust is conveyed to the trustee, the rights of property with regards to the subject matter are split between the trustee and the beneficiary. | | | And yet, the law of trusts in Canada allows so many Canadians to imaginatively and safely give effect to their legal wishes, deftly leaving assets out of the hands of the incompetent, irresponsible or youth yet leaving them the benefit of those assets all the same. | | | It is a responsibility of honor and integrity as the trustee manages the property for the benefit not of themselves, but for another: the beneficiary. |
