Inheritance is of two kinds, corporeal and incorporeal: corporeal is that which can be touched and seen; incorporeal, that which can neither be touched nor seen.

Explanation

The law recognizes both tangible and intangible property rights as inheritable — rights, rents, and easements pass by inheritance just as land and goods do.

Where this applies

• An heir claims they only inherited tangible property, not intangible rights like rents.
• A dispute arises about whether intellectual property or licenses pass through inheritance.
