Personal property may become real property by annexation.

• A. True
• B. Annexation Only Applies To Fixtures
• C. False
• D. Only Movable Property Can Be Annexed

Answer: (A)

When personal property is affixed to land or a building, it can become part of the real property. This is the idea behind fixtures: annexing or attaching an item in a way that shows permanence integrates it into the real estate. Once something is permanently attached and intended to stay, it is treated as real property and transfers with the property, even though it started as personal property. Built‑in appliances, cabinets, sinks, and other permanently installed items are typical examples. The assessment usually looks at how the item is attached, whether it’s adapted to the property, and the parties’ intent. If it’s mounted in a way meant to be permanent, it’s real property; if it’s merely movable or can be removed without damage, it remains personal property. So, personal property may become real property by annexation.
