1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.426
An owner can hold property that is also subject to

2
00:00:02.496 --> 00:00:04.284
someone else's claim or right.

3
00:00:04.609 --> 00:00:08.115
Encumbrance is the broader category for burdens or claims affecting

4
00:00:08.173 --> 00:00:08.812
property.

5
00:00:09.195 --> 00:00:10.925
Watch the category divide.

6
00:00:11.099 --> 00:00:12.620
A lien can secure a debt.

7
00:00:13.003 --> 00:00:16.022
An easement can give another person a limited use right.

8
00:00:16.347 --> 00:00:18.890
Both can affect the owner's property, but they do different

9
00:00:18.924 --> 00:00:19.540
jobs.

10
00:00:19.923 --> 00:00:23.882
A driveway easement is our example of a nonfinancial encumbrance.

11
00:00:24.207 --> 00:00:27.841
It allows the permitted use without automatically transferring ownership of

12
00:00:27.887 --> 00:00:28.468
the strip.

13
00:00:28.851 --> 00:00:32.183
Identify the actual right or restriction instead of assuming every

14
00:00:32.229 --> 00:00:33.518
encumbrance is a debt.

15
00:00:33.901 --> 00:00:34.644
Quick check:

16
00:00:34.888 --> 00:00:36.699
is every encumbrance a lien?

17
00:00:39.210 --> 00:00:39.686
No.

18
00:00:40.069 --> 00:00:41.997
A lien is one type of encumbrance.

19
00:00:42.275 --> 00:00:43.935
An easement is another.
