2 Types of Ownership and Possession

Ownership (the Nepali classifications):1. Individual / joint / co-ownership — the sanjha (common family) holding vs. divided parcels; spousal joint ownership of matrimonially-acquired property (the 2074 Code's recognition of husband and wife's equal rights over property acquired during coverture — partition's equal split);2. Hereditary (ancestral) vs. self-acquired property — the division that organizes Nepali succession: ancestral property devolving on the heirs' coparcenary; self-acquired property disposable even by will;3. Legal vs. beneficial (trust) ownership — the guthi/trust split (Units 4, 10);4. Corporeal/incorporeal — land vs. IP, easements, claims;5. Private / State / community — including community-forestry user groups' collective tenure.Possession:1. Actual/constructive; immediate/mediate (the tenant immediate, the landlord mediate);2. Lawful/wrongful — even the wrongful possessor protected against strangers (the thief-vs- stranger principle);3. Adverse possession — possession open, continuous, exclusive, hostile to the true owner, for the limitation period (below);4. Possession of rights (quasi-possession): the easement exercised for generations.
