Instances of property right status indicate the holding of a right over a legal object by some actor for some time.

An instance of property right status is the collective ascription of a relationship of legal right of some actor over a legal object by a community. The substance of the property right status is the communal commitment to the recognition of the right of use, right to earn incolm from, and right of disposal (of some sort) over the designated legal object by the actor in question.

Instances of property right status are recognizable through evidence of community members adopting the intentional stance of so-recognizing this status, as observable from direct witnesses, through the reports of competent observers or through evidence of a declarative act [e.g.: ZE29 Transfer of Property Right) initiating this status.

Instances of property right status may come to be through a formal process such as a declarative act of taking posession of right [ZE29 Transfer of Property Right), or may have arisen through habit, fiat or be of unknown origin. Instances of property right status may end either though a formal process, such as a new transfer or right, or may simply fade out of use, be eliminated by fiat or be of unknown reason.
