A quick definition of specialty:

Specialty: A special type of property, like a church or cemetery, that is not easily sold on the market. When the government needs to take this type of property for public use, they determine its value by calculating how much it would cost to build it again, minus any wear and tear. This is called eminent domain.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Specialty refers to a unique property that is not easily marketable and has a specific value for condemnation purposes. It can also refer to a contract under seal or the doctrine of specialty.

  • A church or cemetery is an example of specialty property. These properties have a specific value for condemnation purposes, which is determined by measuring their reproduction cost less any depreciation.
  • A contract under seal is a specialty contract that is legally binding and enforceable. It is signed and sealed by the parties involved and has a higher level of legal validity than a regular contract.
  • The doctrine of specialty is a legal principle that states that a creditor can only enforce a debt against a specific property that is named in the contract. This means that the creditor cannot go after any other assets of the debtor.

The examples illustrate how specialty can refer to different things in different contexts. In the case of specialty property, it refers to a unique type of property that has a specific value for condemnation purposes. In the case of a contract under seal, it refers to a legally binding and enforceable contract that has a higher level of legal validity. And in the case of the doctrine of specialty, it refers to a legal principle that limits the creditor's ability to enforce a debt.

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.
