What does SITUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
legaltechnical
The place where property, a right or a legal matter is considered to be located for purposes of taxation, jurisdiction or the application of a particular country's law.
Lawyers use situs to decide which country's or state's rules apply to a piece of property, since real estate, for instance, is normally taxed and governed according to the situs where the land physically sits. The concept becomes trickier for intangible property such as shares, debts or trademarks, which have no physical location, so courts have developed separate rules for fixing a legal situs in those cases. Situs comes directly from Latin, where it simply meant position or site, and English law borrowed the term rather than translating it.
