PossibilityAn uncertain thing which may happen; or it is a contingent interest in real or personal estate.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Contingent
What may or may not happen;. what depends upon a doubtful event; as, a contingent debt, which is a debt depending upon some uncertain event.
Interest
1) Estates. The right which a man has in a chattel real, and more particularly in a future term. It is a word of less efficacy and extent than estates, though, in legal understanding, an interest extends to estates, rights and titles which a man has in or out of lands, so that by a grant of his whole interest in land, a reversion as well as the fee simple shall pass. 2) Contracts. The right of property which a man has in a thing, commonly called insurable interest. 3) Evidence. The benefit which a person has in the matter about to be decided and which is in issue between the parties.
Real
1) A term which is applied to land in its most enlarged signification. Real security, therefore, means the security of mortgages or other incumbrances affecting lands. 2) In the civil law, real has not the same meaning as it has in the common law. There it signifies what relates to a thing, whether it be movable or immovable, lands or goods; thus, a real injury is one which is done to a thing, as a trespass to property, whether it be real or personal in the common law sense. A real statute is one which relates to a thing, in contradistinction to such as relate to a person.
Personal
Belonging to the person.
Estate
A right or interest in property or the property of a deceased person.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------

Possessio fratris
The brother's possession. This is a technical phrase which is applied in the English law relating to descents. By the common law, the ancestor from whom the inheritance was taken by descent, must have had actual seisin of the lands, either by his own entry, or by the possession of his own, or his ancestor's lessee for years, or by being in the receipt of rent from the lessee of the freehold. But there are qualifications as to this rule, one of which arises from the doctrine of possesio fratris. The possession of a tenant for years, guardian or brother, is equivalent to that of the party himself, and is termed in law possessio fratris.
Possession

Possessor

On account of the great nicety required in its management, and the introduction of more expeditious methods of trying titles by other actions, it has been laid aside.
Possessory liens
At common law, the right of a bailee to retain property in his possession belonging to another until certain claims of the bailee in possession are satisfied. The common carrier thus had a possessory lien for freight (supra), which was strictly possessory and was lost when the cargo was delivered unconditionally. This lien was recognized by English admiralty law, as well as the possessory liens of salvors and repairmen. Possessory liens are also recognized in the United States. The civil law equivalent of the possessory lien is the right of retention.
