Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 33 Sec. 151

  • Deed: The legal instrument used to transfer title in real property from one person to another.
  • Personal property: All property that is not real property.
  • Real estate: includes lands and all tenements and hereditaments connected therewith, and all rights thereto and interests therein. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 1 Sec. 72
A person owning real estate and having a right of entry into it, whether seized of it or not, may convey it or all his interest in it, by a deed to be acknowledged and recorded as provided in this chapter. Down trees lying on land at the time of conveyance are real estate and pass by the deed; but such down trees as are cut into wood, logs or other lumber and hemlock bark peeled are personal property, and the owner may remove them in a reasonable time thereafter.
