A quick definition of fictitious seisin:

Fictitious seisin is a legal term that refers to the right to immediate possession of a freehold estate in land, even if the person has not physically entered the land yet. It is a concept that dates back to feudal times when a tenant was admitted into freehold through a ceremony of investiture. Seisin means possession or ownership of land, and fictitious seisin is a legal fiction that allows for the transfer of ownership without actual physical possession. It is important to note that seisin and possession are distinct concepts, and a person can have possession of chattels or lands without seisin.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Fictitious seisin refers to the right to immediate possession of a freehold estate in land, even if the person has not physically entered the land. It is a legal concept that allows for the transfer of ownership without actual possession.

Example: An heir inherits a piece of land from their deceased parent, but they have not yet physically entered the land. Despite not having actual possession, the heir has fictitious seisin, which means they have the legal right to immediate possession of the land.

This concept is important in property law because it allows for the transfer of ownership without the need for physical possession. It also helps to establish clear ownership rights and prevent disputes over who has the legal right to possess a piece of land.
