SECTION 1: REAL PROPERTY (Questions 1-75)
MULTIPLE CHOICES
,Question 1
Which of the following best defines real property?
A) Tangible personal belongings and movable equipment
B) Land and anything permanently attached to it
C) Intellectual property and patents
D) Only the soil beneath a building
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Real property consists of land and any fixtures that are
permanently attached, distinguishing it from personal property. Real property
includes the land itself, all things attached to the land (such as buildings,
trees, and minerals), and the rights associated with ownership. Personal
property (also called chattels or personalty) consists of movable items not
permanently attached to the land.
Question 2
Which of the following best describes a fee simple absolute estate?
A) An estate that terminates upon the death of the grantee
B) An estate that can be transferred only by inheritance
C) The most complete ownership interest in real property, with no limitations
D) An estate limited by a condition subsequent
Correct Answer: C
,Rationale: A fee simple absolute gives the owner unrestricted rights to
possess, use, and transfer the property, and it never terminates unless the
owner voluntarily conveys it. It is the highest and most complete form of
ownership recognized in law, granting the owner the full "bundle of rights" –
possession, control, exclusion, enjoyment, and disposition – for an indefinite
period.
Question 3
Which of the following is considered a "fixture" that will automatically
become part of the real property?
A) A portable air-conditioning unit that sits on the floor
B) A built-in kitchen cabinet attached to the wall
C) A freestanding bookshelf
D) A potted plant placed on a balcony
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fixtures are items permanently attached to the land or structure;
built-in cabinets meet the attachment and adaptation tests. To determine if
an item is a fixture, the M.A.R.I.A. test is used: Method of attachment,
Adaptability of the item, Relationship of the parties, Intent of the person who
installed it, and Agreement between the parties.
, Question 4
What is the primary purpose of the M.A.R.I.A. test for fixtures?
A) To determine market value of the property
B) To decide if an item is a fixture or personal property
C) To calculate depreciation of improvements
D) To assess zoning compliance
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The M.A.R.I.A. test (Method, Adaptability, Relationship, Intent,
Agreement) helps determine whether an item is a fixture (part of the real
property) or remains personal property. This determination is crucial in real
estate transactions because fixtures transfer with the property, while
personal property does not.
Question 5
An item that a tenant installs for business use, such as shelving, is called a:
A) Trade fixture
B) Emblement
C) Easement
D) Encroachment
Correct Answer: A
