A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, “severance” refers to the act of separating or dividing property, rights, or interests that were previously held jointly or together. This can occur in various contexts, such as real estate, contracts, or relationships, where a severance agreement or action is used to formally separate and allocate the respective shares or portions to the parties involved.
Example: Upon termination of employment, the employee was entitled to receive a severance package as outlined in the employment contract.
