Substitution
The transfer or conveyance of title to or an estate in real property to another. In essence, one landowner substitutes for another, with all rights intact except for those reserved by deed restriction.
Substitution began to replace subinfeudation (the granting of subordinate tenancies) with the decline of the feudal system.
