constructive possession of chattels based on agreement


Explanation:
"constructive possession", as the previous answer suggested, is correct, albeit not quite complete.
It should be in full "constructive possession of chattels based on agreement".

If you like your Latin, EurodicAutom suggests "constitutum possessorum "(http://eurodic.ip.lu:8086//cgi-bin/edicbin/expert.pl)

Constructive possession


Explanation:
In consequence and as the new creditor under the agreement, XXX took constructive possession.


As for the other reply, "Chattel" is ALWAYS singular, just as nobody would refer to "real estate(s)" in the plural
