Stevenson · Answer 1

(d) Encumbrances are not considered estates.

Explanation:

An encumbrance is an interest in and right to real property that limits the legal owner's freehold interest. In effect, an encumbrance is another's right to use or take possession of a legal owner's property, or to prevent the legal owner from enjoying the full bundle of rights in the estate. It does not include the right of possession and is therefore a lesser interest than the owner's freehold interest, therefore they are not considered estates.
