unseized
Still in possession
Unseized describes something not taken hold of or not confiscated.
Property that is unseized remains in its owner's possession: The unseized assets were still generating income.
In legal contexts, it often refers to goods or funds that authorities have not yet claimed: Police left the unseized contraband in the warehouse.
Less commonly, it describes an opportunity not grasped: The unseized moment passed.
