Transfer of Servitudes with the Sale of Land or Buildings

Passage 1459 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paulus states that servitudes follow the estate even when it is sold, and that the same principle applies to the relations of servitude between buildings and estates.

[PAULUS libro quinto decimo ad Sabinum. ] §8.4.12.prCum fundus fundo seruit, uendito quoque fundo seruitutes sequuntur.
[PAULUS, on Sabinus, book 15] When an estate serves an estate, the servitudes follow even when the estate is sold.
aedificia quoque fundis et fundi aedificiis eadem condicione seruiunt.
Buildings also serve estates, and estates buildings, under the same condition.

Notes

  1. §8.4.12.pruendito quoque fundo — An ablative absolute construction consisting of the noun fundo (ablative) and the perfect passive participle uendito (ablative). Accompanied by quoque (also), it expresses the condition "even when the estate is sold."
  2. §8.4.12.preadem condicione — Ablative of condition or manner. Meaning "under the same condition" or "by the same rule," it indicates that the principle stated in the preceding sentence (that servitudes follow the property upon sale) applies equally to the servitude relations between buildings and estates.
