Encumbrance

Tax Glossary Definition

Encumbrance

An encumbrance is a legal claim, liability, or restriction on a property that affects its ownership or transfer. It may include mortgages, liens, or other obligations that must be settled before the property can be sold or transferred free of encumbrances.

Example: A home loan mortgage on a house is an encumbrance, as the bank has a legal claim on the property until the loan is fully repaid..
