Valid Formal Formulas for Disinheriting Sons

Passage 4138 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This fragment provides examples of valid formal formulas that can be used to disinherit sons in a will.

[FLORENTINUS libro decimo institutionum. ] §28.2.17.prFilii etiam hoc modo exheredantur 'filius exheres sit': 'filius exheres erit'.
[FLORENTINUS, Book 10 of Institutes.] Sons are also disinherited in this manner: 'let the son be disinherited', 'the son shall be disinherited'.

Notes

  1. §28.2.17.prfilius exheres sit : filius exheres erit — This demonstrates that in the formal declaration of disinheritance (exheredatio) in a will, both the present subjunctive sit (jussive/optative) and the future indicative erit (expressing a future certain determination or command) are recognized as valid formulas.
