Voluntary and Involuntary Alienation
Alienation is the transfer of title. Voluntary alienation is a transfer the owner chooses: by deed during life, or by will at death. Involuntary alienation happens without the owner's consent: descent to heirs when the owner dies intestate (without a will); escheat to the state when there are no heirs; foreclosure or tax sale; eminent domain (condemnation); adverse possession; and natural forces such as erosion. Accretion (gradual deposit of soil) adds land; avulsion (sudden loss) does not change the boundary.
