Real Estate, unless mentioned in the Last Will and Testament, usually was treated separately from personal estate because it can't be used up. Unless owned by a legal body it escheates to the state (king, duke, etc.) Records of land ownership are maintained by government because essentially they can't be owned in any permanent sense by any other body. If you can get copies of the accountings, including the final accounting for an estate it usually will show stocks, bank accounts and other securities along with disposition of any monies from sale of personal estate as shown in the inventories. I have some final accountings which show sale of crops harvested after the demise of the owner so I know there was land, but never have been able to find the land. Florence
