A quick definition of equitable disseisin:

Equitable disseisin: When someone takes away something that belongs to you, like a piece of land or a house, without any right to do so, it is called disseisin. Equitable disseisin is when someone takes away your right to own or use something, even if they don't physically take it away from you. For example, if someone tricks you into signing a paper that gives them ownership of your house, that is equitable disseisin. It's like they stole your house without actually taking it away from you.

A more thorough explanation:

Equitable disseisin is a legal term that refers to the wrongful deprivation of the equitable ownership, possession, or the fruits of ownership or possession. It occurs when someone is deprived of their rightful ownership or possession of property without a legal basis.

For example, if a landlord wrongfully evicts a tenant from their apartment without following proper legal procedures, the tenant may have a claim for equitable disseisin. Similarly, if a person is denied access to their property by a neighbor who has no legal right to do so, they may also have a claim for equitable disseisin.

Another example is when a person is wrongfully deprived of the fruits of their ownership or possession, such as when a tenant is denied the right to collect rent from their subtenants by a landlord who has no legal right to do so.

These examples illustrate how equitable disseisin can occur in various situations where someone is wrongfully deprived of their property rights without a legal basis.
