What does a fee simple estate convey?

Ownership with significant restrictions
Ownership that includes mineral rights
One that conveys the broadest form of ownership
Temporary possession of property

The correct answer is: One that conveys the broadest form of ownership

A fee simple estate is recognized as the most complete and unrestricted form of property ownership. It provides the holder with absolute and permanent rights to use, transfer, or dispose of the property as they see fit, within the bounds of the law. This includes the ability to sell the property, lease it, or bequeath it upon death. This type of estate does not have significant restrictions in terms of ownership and does not imply limited rights or temporary possession. While a fee simple estate can potentially include rights such as mineral rights, the defining characteristic is the broad and enduring ownership it grants. Thus, the fee simple estate is distinct in its capability to allow for comprehensive control over the property, making it the most powerful form of ownership in real estate law.
