unobjectionable property
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)

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
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
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.
