A quick definition of encumber:

Term: encumber

Definition: When someone encumbers a piece of land or property, it means they are putting a restriction or burden on it. This can happen when there is a mortgage or lien on the property, or when someone has a legal claim to it. Basically, it means that the property is not completely free and clear to do whatever the owner wants with it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To encumber (or incumber) means to place a burden or restriction on a piece of real estate.

Example 1: A homeowner takes out a mortgage to buy a house. The mortgage lender places a lien on the property, which encumbers the homeowner's ownership rights until the mortgage is paid off.

Example 2: A property owner wants to sell their land, but there is an easement on the property that allows a utility company to access their equipment. This easement encumbers the property and may affect its value or desirability to potential buyers.

These examples illustrate how encumbering a property can limit the owner's rights or affect the property's value. It is important for property owners to be aware of any encumbrances on their land before buying or selling, as they can have significant legal and financial implications.
