An annual or monthly legacy, or a legacy of habitation, is extinguished by the death of the legatee but survives capitis deminutio, because such legacies depend on fact rather than on law.

[MODESTINUS libro octauo differentiarum.]
Legatum in annos singulos uel menses singulos relictum, uel si habitatio legetur, morte quidem legatarii legatum intercidit, capitis deminutione tamen interueniente1 perseuerat: uidelicet quia tale legatum in facto potius quam in iure consistit.2
A legacy left on an annual or monthly basis, or if a right of habitation is bequeathed, is indeed extinguished by the death of the legatee, but continues to exist even if status loss (capitis deminutio) intervenes; obviously because such a legacy consists in fact rather than in law.
- 4.5.10.prcapitis deminutione tamen interueniente
An ablative absolute construction formed by the noun capitis deminutione and the present participle interueniente. Accompanied by the adversative adverb tamen, it carries a concessive meaning: "even if status loss (capitis deminutio) intervenes."
- 4.5.10.prin facto potius quam in iure consistit
The verb consistit, used with "in + ablative," means "consists in" or "depends on." The structures in facto and in iure are contrasted via potius quam, indicating that the essence of these legacies lies in a factual state of affairs (factum) rather than in a legal construction (ius).
