Simple English definitions for legal terms

title of right

Read a random definition: gerrymander

A quick definition of title of right:

Title of right: A court order that creates, transfers, or ends rights. This can happen in many situations, like when a couple gets divorced, someone goes bankrupt, or a house is foreclosed on. The court's decision doesn't fix a problem, but instead gives someone a legal right to something.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A court-issued decree that creates, transfers, or ends rights. This means that the court makes a decision that affects what someone can do or own.

Examples:

  • A divorce decree: This is a court order that ends a marriage and decides how property and custody will be divided.
  • A bankruptcy adjudication: This is a court decision that someone is bankrupt and can't pay their debts. It can also decide how their assets will be distributed to creditors.
  • A foreclosure decree: This is a court order that allows a lender to take possession of a property because the borrower has not paid their mortgage.
  • An order appointing or removing a trustee: This is a court decision that appoints or removes someone who will manage property or assets for someone else.
  • A grant of letters of administration: This is a court order that gives someone the legal authority to manage the estate of someone who has died without a will.

These examples show how a court can use its power to make decisions that affect people's rights. The court's decision is not just a remedy for a problem, but it also creates a new legal situation that gives someone a title of right. This means that the person has a legal right to do something or own something because of the court's decision.
