What is involuntary alienation?

1. Property transfer by force

2. Property exchange without consent

3. Voluntary deed transfer

4. Legal title dispute resolution

The correct answer is: Property transfer by force

Involuntary alienation refers to a property transfer that occurs without the owner's consent or intent. Option A, property transfer by force, fits this definition perfectly as it involves the owner being forced to transfer their property against their will. This can happen through acts of theft, fraud, or coercion. Option B, property exchange without consent, may seem like a suitable answer, but it implies that both parties involved in the exchange did not consent. However, in involuntary alienation, only the owner did not give consent. Option C, voluntary deed transfer, is incorrect because the word "voluntary" implies that the owner willingly transferred their property, which is not the case for involuntary alienation. Option D, legal title dispute resolution, is also incorrect because it refers to resolving a dispute over ownership, not an actual transfer of property.
