customary seisin

Read a random definition: soit fait comme il est desire

A quick definition of customary seisin:

Customary seisin refers to the possession of a freehold estate in land, which is a type of ownership. It was completed through a ceremony called feudal investiture, which allowed the tenant to be admitted into freehold. In Louisiana law, it also refers to the right of universal successors to own and possess a person's estate immediately upon their death. Seisin used to mean possession of both land and chattels, but it gradually became distinct from possession and came to mean possession under claim of a freehold estate in land. Other types of seisin include actual seisin, constructive seisin, equitable seisin, and seisin in law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Customary seisin is a type of possession of a freehold estate in land, which was completed through the ceremony of feudal investiture. It refers to the right of a tenant to be admitted into freehold and own the land. In Louisiana law, it refers to the right of universal successors to own and possess a person's estate directly and immediately upon that person's death.

Example: A lord grants a piece of land to a tenant through the ceremony of feudal investiture. The tenant is then said to have customary seisin of the land, which means they have the right to own and possess it.

Explanation: Customary seisin was a way of completing the transfer of ownership of land from a lord to a tenant. It was a formal ceremony that involved the lord giving the tenant a symbolic object, such as a clod of earth or a twig, to represent the land. The tenant would then take possession of the land and become the owner. In Louisiana law, customary seisin refers to the right of a person's heirs to inherit their estate upon their death.
