(W)here a person seised of land which is subject to an easement, "profit à prendre", or similar right, also becomes seised of the land to which the easement or other right is annexed. The term is usually applied to cases where the seisin is that of a tenant in fee simple, and is equally high or "perdurable" in both pieces of land, so that the easement or other right is extinguished by the unity of seisin...(Jowitt's, 2nd ed., 1977, p. 1832)

Record 3 2013-05-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

The connecting link between tenure and the second important feudal concept, the doctrine of estates, was seisin. Seisin means possession, but it refers only to possession of an estate of freehold in land of freehold tenure. Thus, for example, a landlord will always have the seisin whereas the tenant under a lease is regarded as merely having possession. (Anger and Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 25).

CONT

Seisin is opposed (1) to possession which, in its technical sense, is only applied to leaseholds and other personal property; and (2) to occupation, which signifies actual possession. (Jowitt's, 2nd ed., 1977, p. 1627).

  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

After some hesitation it was settled in 1565 that if a tenant in fee simple covenanted to stand seized of his land in favour of some near relative, the "good consideration" of natural love and affection sufficed to raise a use in favour of the relative; the use was then executed and the legal estate vested in the relative. This type of conveyance was of limited application as it could not be employed to convey land to strangers, and, like the bargain and sale enrolled, it could not carry any further uses under the Statute.

Seisin was of vital importance to the feudal system for the feudal incidents were enforceable only against the person seised of the land. Hence the idea took hold that there could never be an abeyance of seisin, for then all public and private rights pertaining to the land would also be in abeyance. (Anger and Honsberger, end, p. 25)
