Washington DC real estate, in broad definition, land and everything made permanently a part thereof, and the nature and extent of one's interest therein. In law, the word real, as it relates to property, means land as distinguished from personal property; and estate is defined as the interest one has in property.
Washington DC real estate may be acquired, owned, and conveyed (or transferred) by individuals; business corporations; charitable, religious, educational, fraternal, and various other nonprofit corporations; fiduciaries, such as trustees and executors; partnerships; and generally by any legal entity as determined and defined by the laws of Washington DC.
Limitations are established in connection with sales of Washington DC real estate by minors, incompetents, and certain types of corporations, and generally in cases involving some form of legal disability or lack of capacity. In such instances, it is necessary in Washington DC to make application to the courts for permission to sell; in some jurisdictions such transfers are governed by statute.
It is customary for the seller and the purchaser to enter into a contract, at which time the purchaser makes a deposit on account of the purchase price. The purchaser engages an attorney or a Washington DC title company to search the title to the property. The title company ensures that the seller can convey clear title. The transaction is then closed; that is, the property title is transferred and the balance of the purchase price is paid.
The greatest and most extensive interest that may be acquired in Washington DC realty is described in law as a fee interest, a term that implies a proprietary ownership, free and clear of conditions. Fee interest is the most common form of ownership; with certain exceptions, private homes, apartment buildings, factories, office buildings, and similar properties are owned in fee.
