Livery Of Seisin in Europe
Definition of Livery Of Seisin
An ” overt ceremony,” which was formerly necessary to convey an immediate estate of freehold in lands or tenements. It was the transfer of the feudal possession of the land.
There are two kinds of livery of seisin, viz., a livery in deed and a livery in law. A livery in deed is where the feoffer is on the land to be conveyed, and verbally requests or invites the feoffer to enter, or formally hands to him any object, such as a branch or twig of a tree, and declares that he delivers it to him by way of seisin of the land. ” A livery in law is when the feoffor saith to the feoffee, being in view of the house or land, ‘I give you yonder land to you and your heires, and go enter into the same, and take possession thereof accordingly’ and the feoffee doth accordingly in the life of the feoffor enter.” (Coke.)
