Thanks for the responses!

The conclusion that most people came to was that DEN is an abbreviation of
denied (according to the Findlaw dictionary), or an abbreviation of the
Latin word denego,meaning to deny, refuse, reject.

The phrase would then translate to "Denied/Rejected/Refused upon the
demise of...". This seems to fit since the action was an order of
ejectment upon the death of another.

Thanks, again! Have a nice weekend!
