    Property Rights & Ownership

    Bundle of Rights

    The set of legal rights that come with real property ownership: possession, control, enjoyment, exclusion, and disposition.

    The bundle of rights describes ownership as a collection of separate legal rights rather than a single thing. The rights are possession, control, enjoyment, exclusion, and disposition. An owner can keep the whole bundle or separate and transfer individual rights.

    Because the rights are separable, an owner can sell mineral rights while keeping surface rights, or grant a lease that transfers possession while keeping ownership.

    On the exam

    When a scenario describes an owner granting one right while keeping the others, the concept being tested is the bundle of rights.

    Exam trap

    Ownership is not all-or-nothing. Individual rights in the bundle can be sold or leased separately.
