  • Assets: (1) The property comprising the estate of a deceased person, or (2) the property in a trust account.
  • compensation: include the benefits in relation to volunteer firefighters or volunteer ambulance workers pursuant to the volunteer firefighters' benefit law or the volunteer ambulance workers' benefit law. See N.Y. Workers' Compensation Law 100
  • Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.

In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
