In countries with personal ownership of real property, civil law protects the status of real property in real-estate markets, where estate agents work in the market of buying and selling real estate.

The toponymic origins of Frankston are subject to conjecture, and of which there are four popular theories. One of the earliest of these theories (published in the Victorian Historical Magazine in March 1916) is that it was named after one of its early European settlers , Frank Liardet, who also became one of its first official land owners . The Liardets were prominent pioneers of early Melbourne and arrived aboard

The most important "sticks" in the bundle are: the right to transfer, the right to exclude, the right to use, and the right to destroy. Also called alienability , the right to transfer means that the owner may freely transfer or alienate his property to anyone. The scope of this right may be limited for public policy reasons; who can transfer, what can be transferred, and how property may be transferred may be regulated. For example, an insane person may neither transfer nor obtain real property; certain types of property may not be transferred at all, while some can be given away but not sold; how property

Also, according to the terms of his pre-emptive right to land licence, Davey did not have the right to sell or sub-let

It is therefore unlikely that Stone purchased or leased the Cannanuke Inn from Davey or Standring before the formal land sales for Frankston in 1854—and after which the name "Frankston" was already in use.
