Inheritance Acceptance by the Deaf-Mute and Interdicted

Notes

1. §29.2.5.prpro herede gerere — The phrase pro herede gerere (often with a reflexive pronoun as pro herede se gerere) is a legal idiom meaning "to act as heir." It refers to the tacit acceptance of an inheritance through concrete actions, such as managing or disposing of the inherited property, without a formal declaration.
2. §29.2.5.1cui lege bonis interdicitur — The verb interdicitur in the relative clause is used impersonally in the passive, because active interdicere takes a dative of the person (alicui) and an ablative of the thing (aliqua re). Here, cui is the dative and bonis is the ablative of separation, literally translating to "to whom it is interdicted from his goods by law," referring to someone legally prohibited from managing their property.
