What does SEISE mean in Scrabble?
verb
legalarchaic
To place someone in formal legal possession of a freehold property or estate, an older legal spelling now used mainly in the noun seisin.
To seise a person of land was, in traditional English property law, to formally hand over legal possession of a freehold estate rather than merely physical control of it, a distinction that mattered greatly for inheritance and feudal duties. Courts and legal documents once used seise where modern writers would say seize, though the two spellings eventually split into separate meanings. Today seise survives mainly in historical legal texts and in the related noun seisin, which describes the state of holding such possession. Property lawyers occasionally still meet the word when studying the history of land law.
