Feoffment

Feoffment in Europe

Definition of Feoffment

Originally, merely the overt or public delivery of the possession of land by the owner (the feoffor) to the grantee or purchaser (the feoffee), consisting of the ceremony called livery of seisin (q.v.). It became usual to put the terms of the conveyance in writing, as a record of the transaction, which was called the charter or deed of feoffment. By the Real Property Act, 1845, s. 3, a feoffment was avoided unless made by deed. The tortious operation of a feoffment was the granting of a larger estate to the feoffee than the feoffor himself possessed. Abolished by the Real Property Act, 1845, s. 4
