[edit]verhaften (weak, third-person singular present verhaftet, past tense verhaftete, past participle verhaftet, auxiliary haben)

- (transitive) to imprison, to put into confinement after judicial writ (the state of which is called Haft) (this is the most common signification in its strict definition, of which however legal laymen may deviate to mean any kind of government arrest)
- verhaftet und eingesperrt. ― arrested and detained.
- (transitive, now rare) to legally subject to eventual foreclosure
- 2012, Diederich Eckardt, “Das Grundstückszubehör in der Zwangsvollstreckung”, in Zeitschrift für das Juristische Studium[1], number 4, page 469b:
- Ist die Zubehörsache nämlich einmal grundpfandrechtlich „verhaftet“ worden, so bleibt sie dies unabdingbar und unabhängig von einem Eigentümerwechsel, es sei denn, dass die Voraussetzungen einer „Enthaftung“ nach §§ 1121 Abs. 1, 1122 Abs. 2 BGB, § 23 Abs. 1 S. 2 ZVG vorliegen.
