Question 1 of 15
How do you decide whether an attached seller-owned item is a fixture when the purchase contract is silent?
Strong Interview Answer
Treat the bookcase as a fixture that normally conveys unless the parties agree in writing to exclude it. Permanent attachment and adaptation strongly indicate fixture status; if the parties want a different result, the contract should address it.
What to Listen For
- annexation/attachment
- adaptation
- objective intent
- written agreement
- normally conveys
Caution
Do not make the seller’s last-minute statement the sole fixture test.
