Legal Definition and Related Resources of Accession

To Property. The right to all which one’s own property produces, whether that property be movable or immavable, including the increase of animals, and the right to that which is so united to it, either naturally i or artificially, as not to be readily separable. See 45 Vt. 4; 2 Kent, Comm. 360; 2 Bl. Comm. 404. See “Confusion of Goods.” It is sometimes used in a narrower sense, as including only the acquirement by the owner of property of that which is added to or incorporated with it, as by the erection of additions to a building, the setting out of trees, etc., and in this sense is to be distinguished from “specification,” which is the transformation of property into another species by the labor of another, as by the sawing of trees into lumber. See 2 Bl. Comm. 404. Distinction between “accession” and “confusion,” see “Confusion of Goods.” In International Law. The absolute or conditional acceptance, by one or several states, of a treaty already concluded between other sovereignties. Merlin, Repert.

What does Accession mean in American Law?

The definition of Accession in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is:

1. Most broadly, a doctrine by which the owner of property gets title to everything his property produces, or that is attached to it, either naturally or artificially. “Adjunction” is sometimes used synonomously. Hence the doctrine encompasses such diverse things as the addition to real property produced by the gradual deposit of solid matter by running water (see also accretion; alluvion; avulsion; reliction), the acquisition by the landholder of personal property immovably attached to reality (see fixtures); the right of an owner of a female domestic animal to its young as born; and, even more generally, the right of the owner of property to its income. Naturally, ownership of all accessions can be fixed by contract, and that contract may be express or implied. Hence, it may be provided that the owner of the impregnating male domestic animal is entitled to some part of the value of the young born to the other’s female, and it would, after all, ordinarily require a mistake of some kind for a person to add property or labor to another’s property without there being some express or implied agreement as to payment therefore, or ownership of the improving additions. Nonetheless, in the apparent absence of any such agreement, the tendency of the law is still to give title to produce of or attachments to property to the owner thereof (as in the law of fixtures), though perhaps not as automatically or rigidly as under earlier law. See also accessio; accretion; specification.

2. In international law, accession to a treaty is essentially the same as adherence to one.

3. Accession may also refer to the coming into possession of a position or dignity, e.g., “At the accession of George V…”
