Hereditament
In common law, a hereditament (from Latin hereditare, to inherit, from heres, heir) is any kind of property that can be inherited.
Hereditaments are divided into corporeal and incorporeal. Corporeal hereditaments are "such as affect the senses, and may be seen and handled by the body; incorporeal are not the subject of sensation, can neither be seen nor handled, are creatures of the mind, and exist only in contemplation".
An example of a corporeal hereditament is land held in freehold and in leasehold.
While in history, incorporeal hereditaments are hereditary titles may be limited to "honour or dignity, heritable titles of office, coats of arms, prescriptive baronies, pensions, annuities, rentcharges, franchises — and any other interest having no physical existence", if their is a correct belief in a spiritual element of the world behind the cause and effect observations, then there is spiritual capital which could also be included in incorporeal hereditaments in individuals, families, and nations.[1]
