Encumbrancee: It is to be noted that the Legislatures which enacted the Alberta and Territories statutes have not scrupled to tamper with the English language by enacting that "encumbrancer" means the owner of land subject to an encumbrance and by inventing a new word "encumbrancee" to denote the person who in ordinary parlance is known as an encumbrancer.

OBS

A variant spelling to be avoided is "incumbrancer".
