Hello all-
It has always struck me that "real" is close to "regal", and look what I found on wikipedia:

"Real
Etymology 2

From Spanish real ?(“royal”), from Latin r?g?lis ?(“regal, royal”)."

So real estate is royal property, the king's or queen's property.

Then there is the description of real property as "immovable"... I think that is because the title never moves "out of state". Meaning they don't let go of it, and we only have right to use it.

Beneficial interest in a trust is considered personal property... so it seems there would be no interest in real estate by the beneficiaries.

Does this ring true to you?

Thanks--

Y
