GOODS, property. For some purposes this term includes money, valuable 
securities, and other mere personal effects. The term. goods and chattels, 
includes not only personal property in possession, but also choses in 
action. 12 Co. 1; 1 Atk. 182. The term chattels is more comprehensive than 
that of goods, and will include all animate as well as inanimate property, 
and also a chattel real, as a lease for years of house or land. Co. Litt. 
118; 1 Russ. Rep. 376. The word goods simply and without qualification, will 
pass the whole personal estate when used in a will, including even stocks in 
the funds. But in general it will be limited by the context of the will.
