FREEHOLD DEED [7 records]

A fifth method of conveying was the lease and release. The lease for a term of years, since it was not a freehold, was usually made by deed. In order to perfect his interest, the lessee did, however, have to enter on the land, for otherwise the deed gave him only an "interesse termini", or interest in the term. Once the tenant had gone into possession, he was capable of taking a release, that is, the landlord could release the reversion to him by deed and the two interests would merge so as to give the tenant the fee simple and the seisin.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd, p. 34)

In England the feoffment with livery as well as the other old forms of conveyance, the bargain and sale and the lease and release, have been abolished. The latter two forms of conveyance, provided they are by deed, are still possible in Canadian jurisdictions which have legislation similar to Ontario's, since that legislation only deals with feoffment by livery.(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, pp. 34 et 96)

A conveyance of the freehold of land at common law(e. g. by feoffment) could not be defeated by a defeasance unless it was executed at the same time as the conveyance; and in this manner mortgages were in former times usually made, the mortgagor enfeoffing the mortgagee, and he at the same time executing a deed of defeasance, whereby the feoffment was rendered void on repayment of the borrowed money at a certain day.(Jowitt's, p. 579)
