Security for Immediate Legacies and Trebellian Trusts

Passage 5688 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This text regulates the provision of security for immediate legacies, cases involving a Trebellian fiduciary, and trusts owed in intestate successions.

[PAULUS libro septuagensimo quinto ad edictum. ] §36.3.15.prEtiam de praesenti legato locum habet haec satisdatio, quoniam nonnullas moras exercitio iudicii habet.
[PAULUS in the seventy-fifth book on the Edict.] This security also has place in the case of an immediate legacy, because the prosecution of a lawsuit involves some delays.
§36.3.15.1Si et ab herede instituto legatorum satis acceperit legatarius et a Trebelliano fideicommissario, utra que quidem stipulatio committetur, sed exceptione se tuebitur heres, quia cauere non debuerit.
If a legatee has received security for legacies both from the appointed heir and from the Trebellian fiduciary, indeed both stipulations will be forfeited, but the heir will defend himself by an exception, because he ought not to have given security.
sed si pars hereditatis restituta sit, ab utroque cauendum est.
But if only a part of the inheritance has been restored, security must be given by both.
§36.3.15.2Etiam si ab intestato debeatur fideicommissum, locum habet haec stipulatio.
Even if a trust is owed by an intestate successor, this stipulation has place.

Notes

  1. 36.3.15.prexercitio iudicii — Consisting of the ablative singular exercitio (from exercitium, prosecution/exercise) and the genitive iudicii (from iudicium, lawsuit/trial). It functions as an ablative of cause/means, explaining the reason for the delays (moras).
  2. 36.3.15.1legatorum — Genitive plural, functioning as an objective genitive dependent on satis (short for satisdatio, security) in satis acceperit.
  3. 36.3.15.1ab herede ... et a Trebelliano fideicommissario — The preposition ab / a connects parallel ablative phrases indicating the sources from whom the security is received. The latter term refers to the fiduciary who has taken over the estate under the Senatusconsultum Trebellianum.
