The concept of property, as well as property rights is ambiguous. Under this concept refers to various property and relationships. There are several basic criteria that characterize the concept of ownership.
Firstly, the very concept of ownership means the appropriation of something, to any person legal or physical. Therefore, if one person, some property or other forms of ownership belong, then for the rest this property is alien.
Property relationship - refers to the relationship that occurs between a person and property. This is expressed in the fact that the owner of the property treats him as his own, which requires him to fulfill some obligations to this property. That is, the owner is obliged to take care, store, carry out repairs if necessary, etc.
Property relations - are expressed in relations between people in the context of material goods. The owner has the right to remove unauthorized persons from using or managing the property, and may dispose of it at his discretion in the framework of the regulatory legal acts of the country where he resides.
The concept of property, in addition, would not be complete without such a term as fixing property rights, by the way, this term was formed as a result of the emergence of the so-called economic relations of property. So, ownership is ensured through various mechanisms of consolidation, sometimes even coercive by the state. Almost all sectors of the legal sphere, one way or another, are associated with such terms as ownership and the concept of ownership. Civil law regulates and secures only a small part of property relations defined by such a term as the concept of property.
According to the forms of property relations, they can be divided into dynamic and static. Dynamic ownership relations determine the mechanisms and procedure for the transfer of ownership from one person to another or a group of persons. And static property relations do not provide for such a transition and determine the procedure for ownership of property by one person.
Moreover, relations of dynamic relations are often regulated by law of obligations (one of the sub-sectors of civil law), in turn, static relations are regulated directly by property law.
The concept of ownership in the context of law, when examined objectively, is as follows: it is a set of legal and legal norms and rights that govern the relationship of ownership of any property goods, the possibility of ownership, as well as the use and disposal of this property (goods). In addition, this concept also provides for legal remedies for the owner.
There is a wide variety of patterns of ownership. But for a wide range of people, I distinguish two main forms: private and public ownership. For the most part, other forms of ownership are a mixed variant between these two main forms and differ from each other in the degree of responsibility and the order of relations in each separate form.
In addition, the concept of ownership gives rise to such concepts as legal and illegal ownership of property. And the term ownership itself also emerges precisely from the concept of ownership.
Legal ownership can sometimes be called title ownership. And illegal ownership has a number of forms and can be divided into bona fide, that is, when the owner did not know or could not know that he was an illegal owner without sufficient grounds for it, and not bona fide, this is when the owner knows that he owns property that does not belong to him.
