What is allodial title?
Allodial title is better described as a type of estate. Allodial title is a complete, undivided, and inalienable interest in a parcel of land. Those who hold allodial title are free from any and all encumbrances and obligations, including mortgages, taxes, and liens. In addition, allodial lands (“allodium”) are not subject to government police power, eminent domain, or escheat. Allodial title is distinguished from feudal title, an archaic form of property ownership where all lands reverted to the estate of the king following the death of their owners.
