A more thorough explanation:

cum onere (kəm on-ə-ree)

cum onere is a Latin term that means "with the burden." When an item is acquired cum onere, it means that the item is taken subject to existing burdens and charges.

• John bought a house cum onere, which means he is responsible for any liens or mortgages on the property.
• Mary inherited a car cum onere, which means she has to pay any outstanding parking tickets or toll fees.

These examples illustrate how an item acquired cum onere comes with existing burdens and charges. In the first example, John bought a house with the understanding that he is responsible for any liens or mortgages on the property. In the second example, Mary inherited a car with the understanding that she has to pay any outstanding parking tickets or toll fees.
