Learn the rule, separate it from the nearest distractor, then apply it to a Georgia fact pattern.
What does Fixture mean?
A fixture is personal property that has become part of the real property through attachment, adaptation, intention, or agreement, so it normally transfers with the real estate unless the contract provides otherwise.
How do you separate the nearest exam answer?
Personal property remains movable and separately owned. A fixture has crossed into real-property treatment. A trade fixture is installed for a tenant's business and is generally removable on time.
What changes or stays the same in Georgia?
This national ownership concept applies in Georgia, and the signed contract can resolve uncertainty by listing items as included or excluded.
Built-in kitchen cabinets attached and adapted to the home normally transfer as fixtures when the property is sold.
Method of attachment is important but not the only test. Read intention, adaptation, relationship, and agreement facts together.

Answer before reading the explanation. Then explain why every distractor belongs to a different term.
A contract is silent about a chandelier wired into the dining room ceiling and a freestanding bookcase that is not attached to anything. Which item transfers to the buyer with the house?
- A
Both, since both were in the home at showings
- B
Neither, since the contract did not list them
- C
The chandelier, as an attached fixture
- D
The bookcase, since it has no wiring to remove
A chandelier wired into the ceiling is attached and adapted to the home, so it is a fixture that transfers unless the contract excludes it. A freestanding bookcase stays personal property. Silence in the contract does not exclude fixtures.
