When personal property becomes (by intent) a part of real property, it becomes a(n):

Attachment
Dedication
Fixture
Inclusion

The correct answer is: Attachment

The correct answer is a fixture. When personal property is intentionally attached to real property in such a way that it becomes a part of the real estate, it is referred to as a fixture. This transition typically occurs when the property is affixed to the land or to a building to the extent that its removal would cause damage to the real property or would be impractical. Examples include items like built-in appliances, lighting fixtures, or shelving units that are permanently attached. The other terms, such as attachment, dedication, and inclusion, do not accurately describe this process of personal property becoming integrated into real estate. "Attachment" typically refers to the act of physically affixing something, but it does not encompass the broader legal implications involved in permanent transformation. "Dedication" relates to the allocation of land or property to a public use, while "inclusion" is a more general concept that does not specifically address the transition of personal property to real property status.
