What is a fixture, anyway? Odds are you own one. The formal definition is a tangible object that was once personal property but has become so connected with real property that it has become a part of it. There, does that clear things up? I didnt think so. Let me try again: fixtures means stuff like a commode (once its been bolted to the floor of your bathroom, and not a moment before). A desk is not a fixture (no matter how heavy it is) simply because it is physically separate from your house. http://advice-and.info/Legal/51165_Real_Property_Law_Fixtures.html Sat, 02 Jun 2007 05:52:43 GMT CYA Disclaimer: The following is intended for reference purposes only and not as legal advice.

Some states have not yet enacted community property laws, and the law varies considerably among the states that have enacted them. Nevertheless, the community property laws of various states share certain features in common. Contrary to popular opinion, you cant marry a millionaire in a Las Vegas Chapel o Love drive-thru window, pull around and get a drive-thru divorce, and pull out of the parking lot a millionaire yourself. Community property applies to all the property gained during the marriage so the longer the marriage lasts, the better chance the richer spouse has of getting fleeced. For most couples, wages and salaries are the biggest component of community property. Pensions are also included, as are assets (such as houses and cars) bought with these funds. So if one spouse is worth ten million and the other is worth fifty cents before walking into the church for the wedding, their respective wealth is probably going to be about the same when they walk out a few hours later. http://advice-and.info/Legal/50087_Community_Property_Law.html Fri, 18 May 2007 22:02:25 GMT Simon Flinch, Esq. This was the name neatly carved on the oak-paneled door upon which Beth summoned enough courage to tap. A grey-haired gentleman in his late forties showed at the door and ushered her in. Simon knew this was a personal injury case, which he had an expertise built in his formidable 22 years of legal service. He guessed, whatever Beth would say, it would make his day. Jason, Beths 8 year-old son was injured on a private property and the owner did not claim responsibility since Jason trespassed on the property.
