[ULPIANUS libro quinquagesimo ad edictum. ] §29.4.12.prDe libertatibus quoque in hoc casu quaesitum est, an competant tam hae quae ab instituto quam hae quae a substituto datae sunt.
[ULPIANUS in the fiftieth book on the Edict.] Regarding manumissions as well, it has been questioned in this case whether those given by the instituted heir as well as those given by the substitute heir are valid.
et magis est, ut competant, tam directae quam fideicommissariae.
And the more accepted view is that they are valid, whether they are direct or fideicommissary.
H §29.4.12.1eredem eius, qui omissa causa testamenti ab intestato possidet hereditatem, in solidum legatorum actione teneri constat: magis est enim rei persecutionem quam poenam continere et ideo et perpetuam esse.
H It is established that the heir of one who possesses an inheritance intestate, having rejected the cause of the will, is bound in full by the action for legacies: for the more accepted view is that this action contains the pursuit of property rather than a penalty, and therefore is also perpetual.
hoc autem ita est, nisi propter dolum defuncti conueniatur heres: tunc enim in id quod ad eum peruenit conueniretur.
However, this is so unless the heir is sued on account of the fraud of the deceased: for in that case, he would be sued only for that which has reached him.
