Why do we have to differentiate between real and personal property?

Nowadays, I suppose the distinction is kind of outdated, isn't it?

In the past, real property gave a person all sorts of rights - i.e. the right to vote. But now that all those features of property ownership are gone, it does become a fairly arbitrary distinction.

Of course, there remain some relevant legal distinctions. You can't make real property a gift 'mortis causa', for example, because it can't be delivered. But since gifts DMC are slightly outmoded, themselves, I guess that's a fairly empty distinction.

Very good question.

So one can be taxed. One you can take with you the other is fixed!
