Paulus states that if the estate to which the emperor is instituted as heir is insolvent, the emperor must be consulted and his will ascertained regarding the acceptance or repudiation of the inheritance after examining the situation.
[PAULUS libro quinto sententiarum.]
[PAULUS, Sentences, book 5.]
Quod si ea bona, ex quibus imperator heres institutus est, soluendo non sint,1 re perspecta consulitur2 imperator: heredis enim instituti in adeundis uel repudiandis huiusmodi hereditatibus3 uoluntas exploranda est.
But if those goods, in respect of which the emperor has been instituted as heir, are insolvent, the emperor is consulted after the circumstances have been examined; for the will of the instituted heir must be ascertained in accepting or repudiating inheritances of this kind.
