personal property

What you own

Personal property is everything a person owns that isn't land or buildings—belongings you can move or carry.

The law distinguishes personal property from real property (real estate).

Furniture, vehicles, jewelry, and clothing are personal property.

The insurance policy covers personal property up to fifty thousand dollars.
