Legal Definition and Related Resources of Movables
Meaning of Movables
Such subjects of property as attend a man’s person wherever he goes, in contradistinction to things immovable. Things movable by their nature are such as may be carried from one place to another, whether they move themselves, as cattle, or cannot be removed without an extraneous power, as inanimate things. So in the civil law mobilia; but this term did not properly include living movables, which were termed moventia. Calv. Lex. But these words, m.obilia and moventia, are also used synonymously, and in the general sense of “movables.” Id. Movables are further distinguished into such as are in possession, or which are in the power of the owner, as a horse in actual use, a piece of furniture in a man’s own house, or such as are in possession of another, and can only be recovered by action, which are therefore said to be in action, as a debt. See “Personal Property;” Fonbl. Eq. Index; Powell, Mortg. Index; 2 Bl. Comm. 384; Civ. Code La. arts. 464-472; 1 Bouv. Inst, note 462; 2 Steph. Comm. 67; Shep. Touch. 447; 1 P. Wms. 267. In a will, “movables” is used in its largest sense, but will not pass growing crop, nor building materials on ground. 2 Williams, Ex’rs, 1014; 3 A. K. Marsh. (Ky.) 123; 1 Yeates (Pa.) 101; 2 Dall. (Pa.) 142. In Scotch Law. Every right which a man can hold which is not heritable. Opposed to “heritage.” BelJ, Diet.
