All property other than real property. Chattels are distinct from real property in that they are moveable (not attached or affixed). Exceptions are made for trade fixtures or furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FFE), which can be attached, but are still considered chattels. Also known as personalty or personal property, chattels can be tangible (things or objects owned) or intangible (rights and relationships that are included in ownership). Tangible chattels include all objects that one owns, such as vehicles, clothing, houseplants, small appliances, etc. Examples of intangible chattels include patents, copyrights, royalties, and community property relationships. Transfer of chattels is done through a bill of sale, a will, intestate succession, or by court order (judgment).

Abbreviation for furniture, fixtures and equipment, a term normally used in business or commercial real estate. However, this term can also apply to personal, non-commercial items. Articles considered to be FF&E are personal property unless they are permanantly attached or affixed to real estate. Under the terms of most commercial leases, FF&E are to be removed by the tenant upon expiration of the lease, and are therefore personal property.
Examples of FF&E include computers, office furniture, shelving, beds, etc.
Synonymous with trade fixture.
