Which of the following describes voluntary alienation?

  1. Without owner's control and consent

  2. With owner's control and consent

  3. By court order

  4. Through adverse possession

The correct answer is: With owner's control and consent

Voluntary alienation refers to the process through which a property owner willingly transfers their ownership rights to another party. This transfer is done with the owner's control and consent, indicating that the decision to part with the property is intentional and agreed upon. The most common examples of voluntary alienation include actions such as selling a property, gifting it, or transferring it through a will. The emphasis on the owner's control and consent is crucial because it highlights the difference between voluntary and involuntary alienation; in voluntary alienation, the owner decides to relinquish their rights, while other forms, such as those described in the incorrect options, occur without the owner's intent or agreement.
