renunciation of property

renunciation of property
A dereliction. An abandonment of property. Renunciation of dereliction of property requires both the intention to abandon and external action. This is true of property at sea as well as on land. Even the title of the owner to property lying at the bottom of the sea is not necessarily divested. Murphy v Dunham (DC Mich) 38 F 503. There must be a voluntary intention to abandon, or evidence from which such intention may be presumed. Belcher Oil Co. v Griffin (CA5 Fla) 97 F2d 425. See renunciation.
