Best Answer

In a civil case: Forfeiture occurs when a person gives up money, property, or privileges to compensate for losses resulting from a breach of a legal obligation.

In a criminal case: it may refer to the government seizure of property connected to illegal activity. This has been a major weapon in the Federal government's "war on drugs" since the mid-eighties. (example: Vehicles, personal property, real estate used in the manufacture and transportation of illegal narcotics can be seized by the government, converted to government ownership and use, without compensation to the person from whom they were seized.)
