Real Property • Concurrent Estates
PROP#047
Legal Definition
Concurrent estates are those that are either owned or possessed by two or more individuals simultaneously, all of whom have the equal right of possession and enjoyment of the land.
Plain English Explanation
A piece of land is like a sandbox. Sometimes, one person owns the sandbox all by themselves. They have the sole and exclusive right to enjoy that sandbox, rent the sandbox out, sell the sandbox, etc.
But sometimes sandboxes have to be shared. A concurrent estate occurs when more than one person have the equal right to possess and enjoy the sandbox. They are forced to share it simply because neither of them have a greater authority over the other to boss them around or restrict how they can play in the sandbox.
In other cards, we will discuss specific, commonly tested examples of concurrent estates.
