Ownership is the state or fact of exclusive rights and control over property, which may be an object, land/real estate or intellectual property. Ownership involves multiple rights, collectively referred to as title, which may be separated and held by different parties. The concept of ownership has existed for thousands of years and in all cultures. Over the millennia, however, and across cultures what is considered eligible to be property and how that property is regarded culturally is very different. Ownership is the basis for many other concepts that form the foundations of ancient and modern societies such as money, trade, debt, bankruptcy, the criminality of theft and private vs. public property. Ownership is the key building block in the development of the capitalist socio-economic system.

The process and mechanics of ownership are fairly complex since one can gain, transfer and lose ownership of property in a number of ways. To acquire property one can purchase it with money, trade it for other property, receive it as a gift, steal it, find it, make it or homestead it. One can transfer or lose ownership of property by selling it for money, exchanging it for other property, giving it as a gift, being robbed of it, misplacing it, or having it stripped from one's ownership through legal means such as eviction, foreclosure and seizure. Ownership is self-propagating in that the owner of any property will also own the economic benefits of that property.

A. On the section of the bankruptcy petition called "Statement of Financal Affairs" you must list off: #10. All property sold or transfered within the past 2 years. #7. All gifts made to individuals > $200 within the past 1 year. Or as Ricky use to say "Lucy! You've got some esplainin' to do Go meet with an attorney and find out the practical application of your state's Homeowner's exemption rules. You'll find that either: 1. The equity your so worried about is exempt (you get to keep). 2. Unexempt, but hardly enough to attempt to liquidate (after realtors, closing costs, etc). 3. You're limited to Ch13 repayment to protect your asset.

As a bar owner, should I have the right to release pesticide fog into the business if I choose to?
Q. Isn't it my right as a business owner to decide what deadly fumes I contain in my business? If people don't want to be exposed to them, they can go somewhere else. But the government shouldn't be allowed to make it illegal for me to fill MY business with pesticide if I choose to. whcwarrior_10: Usually it ends with choice. If you are subjected to a health hazard not of your choice, it is possible to have it banned. Things like fast food and cologn don't provide a health risk to those not wanted exposure to it. beardog4314: Drinking is to smoking as drinking and driving is to smoking in public bars. You see? The shoe does fit the other foot.
