Livery of seisin was the dominant method of transferring land in England until 1536, and it continued to be legal until 1925. The term livery of seisin means simply transfer of possession: livery means delivery and is from the Old French livrer, and seisin means possession and is from the Old French saisir or seisir. The concept behind livery of seisin, therefore, was the symbolic transfer of the possession of land. The entire ceremony of transfer was called feoffment with livery of seisin, with feoffment meaning a gift, specifically a gift of a freehold interest in a parcel of land.
