ELF all right, supernatural property rights.
Does the demon have to exchange livery of seisen to obtain ownership rights,
or is it more a contract right to chattel?
Is their privity of estate? Are there separable legal and equitable rights,
or since this all dates back to Rome, do Roman civil law rules I haven't
studied control? Or do the laws of the situs of the possession control?
Is the soul alienable by the demon? Can it pass via devise and descent?
Is there a title? Any recording statutes?
Questions, questions, questions . . .
¡Salud!
