enagenacion

A word encountered in Spanish-American grants, which in its ordinary sense means a transfer of the title, the fee, but in a more enlarged sense it may include the transfer of every estate known to the law, from a fee simple to an estate at will or sufferance; and in this enlarged sense it is equivalent to the English word "alienation." Mulford v Le Franc, 26 Cal 88, 103, 104.
