Alienate

Toconvey; to transfer the title to property. Co. Litt. 1182, Alden is very commonly used in the same sense, 1 Washb. Real Prop. 53. “Sell, atienaie, and dispone” are the formal words of transfer in Scotch conveyances of heritable property. Bell. “The term @elienate has a technical legal meaning, and any transfer of real estate, short of a conveyance of the title, is not an alienation of the estate. No matter in what form the sale may be made, unless the title is conveyed to the purchaser, the estate is not alienated,” 11 Barb. 630. hibita est, potest fleri, et quilibet potest renunciare juri pro se introducto, Although alienation be prohibited, yet, by the consent of all in whose favor it is prohibited, it may take place; for it is in the power of any man to renounce a law made in his own favor.

Co. Litt. 98.
