Terms Used In Alaska Statutes 45.29.108
Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
Entitlement: A Federal program or provision of law that requires payments to any person or unit of government that meets the eligibility criteria established by law. Entitlements constitute a binding obligation on the part of the Federal Government, and eligible recipients have legal recourse if the obligation is not fulfilled. Social Security and veterans' compensation and pensions are examples of entitlement programs.
Real property: Land, and all immovable fixtures erected on, growing on, or affixed to the land.
Tort: A civil wrong or breach of a duty to another person, as outlined by law. A very common tort is negligent operation of a motor vehicle that results in property damage and personal injury in an automobile accident.

(1) specific listing;(2) category;(3) except as otherwise provided in (e) of this section, a type of collateral defined in the code;(4) quantity;(5) computational or allocational formula or procedure; or(6) except as otherwise provided in (c) of this section, another method if the identity of the collateral is objectively determinable.(c) A description of collateral as “all the debtor’s assets” or “all the debtor’s personal property” or using words of similar import does not reasonably identify the collateral.(d) Except as otherwise provided in (e) of this section, a description of a security entitlement, securities account, or commodity account is sufficient if it describes
(1) the collateral by those terms or as investment property; or(2) the underlying financial asset or commodity contract.(e) A description only by type of collateral defined in the code is an insufficient description of
(1) a commercial tort claim; or(2) in a consumer transaction, consumer goods, a security entitlement, a securities account, or a commodity account.
