What is a covenant of seisin?

A covenant of seisin is a type of real estate agreement found in the law of Massachusetts. In this agreement, one party (the seller) agrees to transfer a piece of property to the other party (the buyer). The seller promises to deliver a deed to the buyer that will give them full legal right and title to that property. The seller also promises that they have not brought any legal action against the property, and that they have not made any other promises or contracts that would have an effect on the land. The covenant of seisin is important because it allows the buyer to have confidence that they are getting a legal title to the land they are purchasing. The covenant of seisin can also be an assurance to the buyer that the seller has title to the land and has the right to sell it. Additionally, if something is found to be wrong with the title to the property, the buyer can take legal action against the seller.
