Real property is generally defined as land and the things permanently attached to the land. Things that are permanently attached to the land are also known as improvements, and include such things as homes, garages, buildings, trees, etc.
Anything that is not real property is usually considered personal property.
Substances that are beneath the land (such as gas, oil, minerals) are also considered permanently attached. When purchasing a property, you should verify if these items are included in the sale.
When buying a property, it is very important to verify what is included in the sale, and what is not included in the sale. Do not assume! Verify the information in writing.
