A quick definition of feoffamentum:

Feoffamentum: A legal term that refers to the act of transferring ownership of a piece of land to someone else. This transfer is called a feoffment and it can only be done for a freehold estate, which means that the person receiving the land has complete ownership of it. The feoffment is usually done through a written document called a charter or deed of feoffment. In the past, this transfer was done through a ceremony called feoffment with livery of seisin, where the parties involved would physically enter the land and the person giving the land would hand over a twig or a piece of earth to the person receiving it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Feoffamentum is a Latin term used in law that refers to the act of conveying a freehold estate, which is a grant of land in fee simple. It is also known as feoffment with livery of seisin. Feoffment can also refer to the land that is granted or the charter that transfers the land.

Example: In medieval England, conveyances of freehold land could only be made by a feoffment with livery of seisin. This was a solemn ceremony where the parties entered the land, and the feoffor delivered the seisin to the feoffee by handing them a twig or sod of earth or uttering some words like "Enter into this land and God give you joy" and leaving them in possession of the land.

Feoffment to uses: Feoffment to uses refers to the enfeoffment of land to one person for the use of a third party. The feoffee was bound in conscience to hold the land according to the prescribed use and could derive no benefit from the holding.

Example: A landowner may enfeoff their property to a trustee for the use of a charity. The trustee would hold the land and manage it for the benefit of the charity, but they would not be able to use the land for their own benefit.

Overall, feoffamentum is a legal term that refers to the transfer of land ownership through a formal ceremony or charter. It was an important part of medieval land law and is still used in some legal contexts today.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
