EncumbranceA burden or charge upon an estate or property, so that it cannot be disposed of without being subject to it.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Charge
1) Wills, devises. An obligation which a testator imposes on his devisee. 2) Contracts. An obligation entered into by the owner of an estate which makes the estate responsible for its performance. 3) Practice. The opinion expressed by the court to the jury, on the law arising out of a case before them.
Estate
A right or interest in property or the property of a deceased person.
Property
Property is commonly thought of as a thing which belongs to someone and over which a person has total control. But, legally, it is more properly defined as a collection of legal rights over a thing. These rights are usually total and fully enforceable by the state or the owner against others. It has been said that "property and law were born and die together. Before laws were made there was no property. Take away laws and property ceases." before laws were written and enforced, property had no relevance. Possession was all that mattered. There are many classifications of property, the most common being between real property or immoveable property (real estate such as land or buildings) and "chattel", or "moveable" (things which are not attached to the land such as a bicycle, a car or a hammer) and between public (property belonging to everybody or to the state) and private property.
