What does SEISIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
legalhistorical
Legal possession of a freehold estate in land, as recognized under feudal and common law.
Seisin named the medieval English concept of actually holding and occupying a property, a status kept separate from documents proving mere title or entitlement. Landholders transferred seisin through a ceremony called livery of seisin, in which the outgoing holder handed the new one a twig, a clod of earth, or some other symbolic object taken directly from the holding, making the transfer visible to witnesses. Courts relied on proof of seisin to settle disputes over inheritance, service owed to a lord, and rival claims to the same holding. Although today's system of registered deeds has replaced these ceremonies, seisin remains a key term in the history of English law and in discussions of how tenure rules developed.
