Encumbered might refer to
The Encumbered Estates' Court was established by an act of the British Parliament in 1849, to facilitate the sale of Irish estates whose owners, because of the Great Famine, were unable to meet their obligations. It was given authority to sell estates on application from either the owner or an encumbrancer (somebody who had a claim on it) and, after the sale, distribute the proceeds among the creditors, granting clear title to the new owners. * An example of this is with the trustees of the estate of William Mellish whose daughter Margaret had married Richard Butler, 2nd Earl of Glengall with a substantial inheritance. The trustees challenged the behaviour of the Earl in 1847, and he was declared bankrupt in 1847. The trustees were able to sell much of the family estates in Ireland in 1853 through the Encumbered Estates' Court, although much of it was subsequently bought back.In 1858, the court's functions were assumed by the Landed Estates Court, which, in turn, was replaced by the Land Commission that was set up under the 1881 Land Act.
