Legal Terms & Definitions

Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

A

A codicil is an instrument made after a will and modifying it in some respects.

B

A bill of sale passes title of personal property from vendor to vendee.

C

Consideration may include money, personal services, or even love and affection.

D

Chattel paper is the same thing as a real-property deed and never concerns a lease or goods.

Correct Answer

D. Chattel paper is the same thing as a real-property deed and never concerns a lease or goods.

Detailed Explanation

The false statement confuses chattel paper with real-property conveyancing. In "Definitions and General Terms," the booklet says chattel paper evidences both an obligation to pay money and a security interest in a lease or specific goods. For contrast, a bill of sale passes title to personal property, while a deed or conveyance concerns real property.
