(Law) Pertaining to things fixed, permanent, or immovable, as to lands and tenements; as, real property, in distinction from personal or movable property. {Chattels real} (Law), such chattels as are annexed to, or savor of, the realty, as terms for years of land. See {Chattel}. {Real action} (Law), an action for the recovery of real property. {Real assets} (Law), lands or real estate in the hands of the heir, chargeable with the debts of the ancestor. {Real composition} (Eccl. Law), an agreement made between the owner of lands and the parson or vicar, with consent of the ordinary, that such lands shall be discharged from payment of tithes, in consequence of other land or recompense given to the parson in lieu and satisfaction thereof. --Blackstone. {Real estate} [or] {property}, lands, tenements, and hereditaments; freehold interests in landed property; property in houses and land. --Kent. --Burrill. {Real presence} (R.
