The removal of an encumbrance or burden, especially a legal claim or liability attached to property.
Formed from 'disencumber' with the '-ance' suffix (alternative to '-ment', both creating nouns). The term has specialized legal meaning related to property rights.
In real estate and property law, 'disencumbrance' is your best friend if you're trying to sell land that has mortgages or liens against it—the whole point is to clear the title so it's truly yours to transfer.
