What does the term died seized mean?

The term "died seized" refers to a situation in property law where a person who holds legal title to a property (the "seized" individual) passes away while still owning that property. This status is significant in determining how the property is handled after death, particularly in relation to inheritance and estate distribution. Typically, the property will then be transferred according to the deceased's will or, if there is no will, according to state intestacy laws.
