Donations Mortis Causa Made Due to Frailty in Old Age

Summary

Being worn out by old age is presented as one of the circumstances in which a donation in contemplation of death is made.

[ULPIANUS libro secundo institutionum. ] §39.6.5.praut aetate fessus:

Notes

  1. §39.6.5.praetate fessus — aetate is an ablative of cause meaning "by old age," modifying fessus ("worn out", "exhausted"). Like aut per insidiosa loca iturus in the preceding section (§39.6.4.pr), this phrase presents a condition under which a donation mortis causa is made.
