All of the above -CORRECTANSWER All of the above
,A Freehold Estate (ownership interest) is land in which one has both possession and
(indefinite) ownership rights in real property.
A Non-Freehold Estate in real property, also known as a leasehold estate, only conveys
the right of possession without the right of ownership. Non-freehold estates are for a
definite duration, unlike a freehold estate which is for an indeterminable duration.
So, both freehold and non-freehold have the right of possession. The freehold estate
also has the right of ownership where non-freehold does not have ownership rights.
They both differ in duration.

A deed in lieu of foreclosure or "friendly foreclosure" is when the borrower and lender
agree to transfer property by deed from the borrower to the lender and the lender
cancels the entire debt. This is beneficial to both borrower and owner in saving
foreclosure expenses. Also, the borrower escapes the publicity of the foreclosure and
, potential deficiency judgements while the lender escapes the uncertainty of judicial
foreclosure and public auction.

deceased) determines the disposition of property. The question of who inherits the

Transferring property using a will, trust or deed are examples of voluntary alienation.
