Which of the following is an example of corporeal property?

• A. A house
• B. Rent
• C. A license to use land
• D. A mortgage on land

Answer: (A)

Corporeal property refers to tangible, physical items you can touch and possess. A house is a concrete structure with material substance—you can see, touch, and move it—so it fits this category. The other options are intangible rights or claims: rent is a monetary claim, a license to use land is a permission, and a mortgage on land is an encumbrance or security interest on property. Because it involves a physical object, the house is the example of corporeal property.
