Share of a Joint Legatee When Others Fail Conditions

Passage 4830 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This segment explains that in a joint legacy, even if none of the co-legatees fulfill the condition of attending the funeral, the legacy of the other legatee is not diminished.

[UALENS libro secundo fideicommissorum. ] §32.0.10.prSi tibi et ei, qui ex tribus liberis meis in funus meum uenerit, centum aureos legauero, non minuitur in tua persona legatum, si nemo uenit.
[VALENS from the second book on Trusts.] If I bequeath one hundred aurei to you and to him, among my three children, who shall attend my funeral, the legacy is not diminished in your person if no one attends.

Notes

  1. 32.0.10.prin tua persona — Meaning "in your person" or "in respect of your share." It indicates that even if the condition imposed on one of the co-legatees (attending the funeral) is not fulfilled, no detriment or reduction of the legacy occurs with respect to the legal position or share of the other legatee (you).
  2. 32.0.10.pruenerit — The verb in the relative clause 'qui ... uenerit', in the future perfect indicative. It is coordinated with 'legauero' (future perfect) in the main conditional clause, describing the condition (attending the funeral) to be met after the testator's death but before the realization of the legacy as a future event.
