Look at this kitchen cart. It sits in the house, but it can ordinarily move with its owner. Personal property, also called chattel, generally means property that is not real property. The cart is our example. Compare it with the built-in cabinets. An item that starts as personal property may become a fixture when incorporated into the real estate. Watch the classification change: a loose cabinet, then a built-in installation. But attachment alone is not the whole analysis. Consider adaptation, intention, the parties' relationship, and the agreement too. Quick check: is the movable cart automatically included just because the house is sold? No. Check the agreement instead of assuming every item stays.
