Sole Ownership (Ownership in Severalty)

Ownership in severalty means a single person or entity owns the property alone. The name is counterintuitive: 'severalty' refers to ownership being 'severed' from any co-ownership, not to multiple owners. A corporation or LLC owning property is considered sole ownership because the entity is a single legal person.
