unobjectionable property
Explanation:
According to a Czech lawyer, this term is not used nowadays in legal practice (no substitute for it either) and it probably didn't exist as a legal term then.

What it probably meant at the time (i.e. after WWII and the Communist coup):

1. the property was free of "dirty profits", be it criminal (or anti-communist) activities or anything connected to the property of Germans, traitors, and collaborationists

2. the account was blocked, and it was possible to use it only for a certain purpose (buying real estate in border regions, military surplus, etc.)

3. there was an execution of the distraint carried out from this account (by execution of a claims order) and the writer stated that from this point on the owner was not forbidden to use the funds (and their parts)

Grading comment
Although "unencumbered" was my first choice as well, something just did not seem right about it in this context. So I used "unobjectionable", with a translator note. The TM was happy and agreed:) Thank you, Pavel. The explanations were very helpful and convincing.

unencumbered property


Explanation:
It seems that indeed it is a case of property which is clear of any mortgages, liens or debts, because the inheritance tax was paid from the insurance proceeds.
