Summary

Ulpian explains the principle that an heir appointed to multiple shares in the inheritance of the same deceased person cannot reject some of those shares while accepting others.

[ULPIANUS libro quarto ad Sabinum. ] §29.2.2.prsed et si quis ex pluribus partibus in eiusdem hereditate institutus sit, non potest quasdam partes repudiare, quasdam adgnoscere.
[ULPIANUS in the fourth book on Sabinus.] But also, if anyone should be appointed heir for several shares in the inheritance of the same person, he cannot reject certain shares and accept others.
