What do the term 'hereditaments' encompass?

  1. The physical structures on the land only

  2. Legal rights capable of being inherited

  3. Only the land and tenements

  4. Only personal property and belongings

The correct answer is: Legal rights capable of being inherited

The term 'hereditaments' refers to any property that can be inherited, which includes not just the land itself but also any rights, interests, or benefits associated with that property. This encompasses both real property, such as land and buildings, and personal property, which may include rights or privileges associated with the ownership of the land. Although it is true that some options consider part of the definition, they are limited in scope. For instance, while physical structures on the land are included in the broader understanding of property, they do not entirely encapsulate the full range of what 'hereditaments' means. Similarly, focusing solely on land and tenements or personal property neglects the comprehensive nature of the term. Thus, recognizing 'hereditaments' as encompassing legal rights capable of being inherited accurately captures its legal significance in property law.
