ENCUMBRANCE
(bouvier) | ENCUMBRANCE. A burden or charge upon an estate or property, so that it
cannot be disposed of without being subject to it. A mortgage, a lien for
taxes, are examples of encumbrances.
2. These do not affect the possession of the grantee, and may be
removed or extinguished by a definite pecuniary value. See 2 Greenl. R. 22;
5 Greenl. R. 94.
3. There are encumbrances of another kind which cannot be so removed,
such as easements for example, a highway, or a preexisting right to take
water from, the land. Strictly speaking, however, these are not
encumbrances, but appurtenances to estates in other lands, or in the
language of the civil law, servitudes. (q.v.) 5 Conn. R. 497; 10 Conn. R.
422 15 John. R. 483; and see 8 Pick. R. 349; 2 Wheat. R. 45. See 15 Verm. R.
683; l Metc. 480; 9 Metc. 462; 1 App. R. 313; 4 Ala. 21; 4 Humph. 99; 18
Pick. 403; 1 Ala. 645; 22 Pick. 447; 11 Gill & John. 472.

INCUMBRANC
(bouvier) | INCUMBRANCE. Whatever is a lien upon an estate.
2. The right of a third person in the land in question to the
diminution of the value of the land, though consistent with the passing of
the fee by the deed of conveyance, is an incumbrance; as, a public highway
over the land. 1 Appl. R. 313; 2 Mass. 97; 10 Conn. 431. A private right of
way. 15 Pick. 68; 5 Conn. 497. A claim of dower. 22 Pick. 477; 2 Greenl. 22.
Alien by judgment or mortgage. 5 Greenl. 94; 15 Verm. 683. Or any
outstanding, elder, and better title, will be considered as incumbrances,
although in strictness some of them are rather estates than incumbrances. 4
Mass. 630; 2 Greenl. 22; 22 Pick. 447; 5 Conn. 497; 8 Pick. 346; 15 Pick.
68; 13 John. 105; 5 Greenl. 94; 2 N. H. Rep. 458; 11 S. & R. 109; 4 Halst.

3. In cases of sales of real estate, the vendor is required to disclose
the incumbrances, and to deliver to the purchaser the instruments by which
they were created, or on which the defects arise; and the neglect of this
will be considered as a fraud. Sugd. Vend, 6; 1 Ves. 96; and see 6 Ves. jr.
193; 10 Ves. jr. 470; 1 Sch. & Lef. 227; 7 Serg. & Rawle, 73.

the interest on incumbrances, see Turn. R. 174; 3 Mer. R. 566; 6 Ves. 99; 4
Ves. 24. See, generally, 14 Vin. Ab. 352; Com. Dig. Chancery, 4 A 10, 4 I.
