Accretion is a real estate law term that refers to the expansion of a piece of land due to natural causes such as the buildup of soil on the shoreline of a stream, lake, or sea. Accretion is usually a gift bestowed on landowners by the earth; however, land can also decrease in size due to avulsion or erosion.
