08.01.07

Bundle of sticks is the idiom commonly used to describe the rights that constitute fee simple property ownership. The common-law right to receive compensation for injury to real property can be the most important “stick” within that bundle. It may permit an owner to recover damages for environmental contamination without first incurring the cost of remediating the property. However, this valuable right can be unknowingly left with a prior owner when the property is transferred. Click here for more information regarding this article.

Search Tips:

You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander.  A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.

Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used.  For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.

Operators

AND and OR may be used in a search.  Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance." 

The + and - sign operators may be used.  The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".

To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks.  For example, "Project Finance".

Searches are not case sensitive.
