Read a random definition: Ex-Im Bank

A quick definition of civil possession:

Civil possession refers to the fact of having or holding property and exercising control over it. It is the right to use and exclude others from using a material object. It can be actual possession, where there is physical occupancy or control over property, or constructive possession, where there is control or dominion over property without actual possession or custody of it. Civil possession can be evidenced by paying taxes on the property and granting rights of interest in it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Civil possession refers to the fact of having or holding property in one's power and exercising dominion over it. It is the right to control something exclusively and the continuing exercise of a claim to the exclusive use of a material object. It can also refer to the detention or use of a physical thing with the intent to hold it as one's own.

Examples: A person who pays taxes on a property and grants rights of interest in it can be said to have civil possession of it. Another example is when a person intends to own a property even though they no longer occupy or have physical control of it. This intent to own the property is what gives them civil possession of it.

Explanation: Civil possession is a legal concept that refers to the right to control and use property exclusively. It can be evidenced by paying taxes on the property, granting rights of interest in it, or having the intent to own the property. The examples illustrate how a person can have civil possession of a property even if they do not physically occupy or control it.
