Everything a person owns at the time of death is called his or her estate. You have the right to decide who will become the owner of your estate after your death. Usually, an estate consists of real estate (called realty or real property), cash, bank accounts, stocks, bonds, and personal property, such as jewelry and automobiles (called personalty or personal property).
