In Civil Law. That which consists of such subjects as are palpable. In the common law, the term to signify the same thing is property in possession. It differs from incorporeal property, which consists of choses in action and easements, as a right of way, and the like.
Black's Law Dictionary
Henry Campbell Black, M.A. · 1910
Such as affects the senses, and may be seen and handled by the body, as opposed to incorporeal property, which cannot be seen or handled, and exists only in contemplation. Thus a house is corporeal, but the annual rent payable for its occupation is incorporeal. Corporeal property is, if movable, capable of manual transfer; if immovable, possession of it may be delivered up. But incorporeal property cannot be so transferred, but some other means must be adopted for its transfer, of which the most usual is an instrument in writing. Mozley & Whitley.
