Personality

Personality, all the property which, when a man dies, goes to his executor or administrator, as distinguished from the realty, which goes to his heir-at-law. Personality consists of money, furniture, stock in the funds; while realty consists of freehold land and rights connected with land. See INTESTACY, KIN (NEXT OF), REALTY. In Scots law, the corresponding phrase is Movables; see HERITABLE AND MOVABLE.
