Your misunderstanding and misuse of the terminology of real property law makes it virtually impossible to answer this question. In short, however, pretty much everything you have said, or as best I can tell you are saying, is wrong.
More information and a lot of clarification would be necessary to even start to answer your question.
Generally, one can only sell what they actually own. A future right is something that is owned so technically it could be sold. But there are exceptions to every general rule. Sit down with a real estate attorney in your area.
