What is "quasi-property"

Quasi-property is a legal concept, in which some rights similar to ownership may accrue to a party who does an act which benefits society as a whole. Black's Law Dictionary defines "quasi" as being "almost" or "resembling" - but not actually the same as the suffix item.

Property Law gives the owner of real property or personal property a " bundle of rights" for beneficial use, such as the right to sell the property or right to lifetime use of the property.
