A meeting of the minds. An agreement is made when two people reach an understanding about a particular issue, including their obligations, duties and rights. While agreement is sometimes used to mean contract -- a legally binding oral or written agreement -- it is actually a broader term, including understandings that might not rise to the level of a legally binding contract.

BEQUEST

The legal term for personal property (anything but real estate) left in a will.

FORECLOSURE

The forced sale of real estate to pay off a loan on which the owner of the property has defaulted.
