Phrasing on Heir Acceptance and Legacy Conditions

Passage 4599 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It explains that a testator's words regarding the designation of the heir or the entry upon the inheritance do not make a subsequent legacy or trust-bequest conditional.

[IDEM libro quarto ad Sabinum. ] §30.1.3.prHaec uerba testatoris: 'quisquis mihi ex supra scriptis heres erit' aut 'si heres erit Seius' uel 'si hereditatem adierit' subiectum legatum uel fideicommissum non faciunt condicionale.
[THE SAME, Book 4 on Sabinus.] These words of a testator: "whoever of those written above shall be my heir", or "if Seius shall be my heir", or "if he shall enter upon the inheritance", do not make a subsequent legacy or trust-bequest conditional.

Notes

  1. §30.1.3.prsubiectum — The perfect passive participle of subicio (to place under/after). Here it functions as an adjective modifying legatum uel fideicommissum, meaning "appended" or "placed immediately after (the aforementioned words in the will)."
  2. §30.1.3.prcondicionale — A predicative accusative (object complement) to legatum uel fideicommissum, which is the direct object of the verb faciunt. This forms the construction "to render/make something conditional."
