A quick definition of annus deliberandi:

Annus Deliberandi: In Scots law, this term refers to the year or six-month period during which an heir can decide whether to accept an inheritance and represent their ancestor. This time is given to the heir to consider the serious responsibilities that come with entering an inheritance. The annus deliberandi starts from the death of the ancestor, except in the case of a posthumous heir, where it starts from the heir's birth.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Annus deliberandi (an-uhs duh-lib-uh-ran-dee) is a Latin term used in Scots law. It refers to the year or six-month period during which an heir can decide whether to accept an inheritance and represent an ancestor.

Example: When a person dies and leaves behind an inheritance, their heir has the option to accept or reject it. If they choose to accept it, they become responsible for managing the assets and debts of the deceased. However, this is a serious responsibility, and the heir may need time to consider whether they want to take it on. The annus deliberandi gives them that time.

Explanation: The annus deliberandi is a period of reflection and decision-making for heirs. It allows them to carefully consider the implications of accepting an inheritance and decide whether they are willing and able to take on the responsibilities that come with it. This period is important because once the heir accepts the inheritance, they cannot change their mind and give it up.
