What does possession legally mean?

  1. To own a vehicle

  2. To have control or management over property

  3. To sell property

  4. To abandon property

The correct answer is: To have control or management over property

Possession, in a legal context, refers to the actual control or management over property, which encompasses a broader range of scenarios than just ownership. It signifies the physical custody or control of an object or property, regardless of whether one holds legal title to it. For instance, someone renting an apartment may not own the property, but they possess it because they have control over it during the lease period. This concept is crucial in legal discussions about property rights, as possession can often influence ownership claims and rights to use or benefit from the property in question.
