Simple Definition
A legal asset is something that someone owns and has value. It can be anything from cash to equipment to real estate. When someone dies or goes bankrupt, all of their legal assets are used to pay off debts or distribute to heirs. Some assets, like stocks or property, can be easily converted to cash, while others, like a building, may take more time and effort to sell.
