ASSIGNS: Assigns refers to successors of the persons who owns or has interest to a property; considered to be a word of limitation, not a word of purchase. HEREDITAMENTS: Refers to anything that can be inherited (tangible or real person property) APPERTENANCES: Refers to land and its buildings and structures. WARRANT: Refers to having a valid title to the land that is clear of encumbrances ENCUMBRANCES/INCUMBRANCES: a burden/burdens on a property that affect the ability to transfer of title (ex: liens, mortgages, taxes, easements, water rights) CONSIDERATION: Refers to the type of money being used to purchase the land CONVEY: Refers to the act of transferring legal title to a piece of property from one party to another party CURRENT MONEY/ PROCLOMATION MONEY: This part is quoted from NCPEDIA: "Colonists counted their money by the English system of pounds, shillings, and pence -- twelve pence (pennies) per shilling, and twenty shillings per pound. The symbol for the pound is £, based on the letter L for libra, which was the basic Roman unit of weight just as the pound is the basic English unit of weight. Shillings were abbreviated s, which didn't stand for shillings but for solidus, a Roman coin. Pence were abbreviated d, which stands for denarius, a smaller Roman coin. (Sometimes p was used to stand for pounds, as well.) £12 10s. 6d., then, was twelve pounds, ten shillings and sixpence. Often, values were written in a shorthand that looks like decimal numbers -- for example, £3.10.06 is three pounds, ten shillings, and sixpence. Sometimes colons were used instead of periods (£3:10:06). This is found in NC Estate Inventories." "England saw its colonies as a great market for finished goods, while it permitted colonists to export only raw materials. As a result, there was always a shortage of money in the colonies. To get around the shortage of money, colonial governments printed paper money, and colonists used whatever foreign currency they could get their hands on. Each colony set an official value in pounds, shillings, and pence on paper money and foreign coin. Because their value was set by proclamation, these currencies were called proclamation money." "To get around the shortage of money, colonial governments printed paper money, and colonists used whatever foreign currency they could get their hands on, Today, global trading in currency sets exchange rates, but there were no international banks to set exchange rates in the 1700s. Instead, each colony set an official value in pounds, shillings, and pence on paper money and foreign coin. Because their value was set by proclamation, these currencies were called proclamation money." "People could also simply barter or trade goods back and forth. Proclamation money also set a value on "rated commodities" that were commonly used as currency. These official prices meant that exchanges conducted in tobacco could be accounted in pounds, shillings, and pence. Turning commodities into "proclamation money" also enabled cash-poor colonists to pay their taxes in goods they had available to them" PARCEL TRACT: Refers to a piece of land ACRE: An area equal to 43,560 square feet. Equals 10 square chains or 160 square poles. 640 acres equals one square mile. MORE or LESS: A phrase used to recognize that even accurate surveys have some error in calculating acreage.
