coheir

Read a random definition: elements of crime

A quick definition of coheir:

A coheir is a person who inherits property from someone who has died without leaving a will. They can also inherit property through a will. Sometimes, people use the term "heir" to refer to someone who will inherit a lot of money or property in the future. In civil law, an heir is someone who succeeds to the rights and property of a deceased person. There are different types of heirs, such as an heir apparent who is certain to inherit, and a pretermitted heir who has been left out of a will.

A more thorough explanation:

A coheir is a person who, along with one or more others, inherits property from a deceased person. In common-law jurisdictions, a coheir can inherit real or personal property, whether by will or by intestate succession. In civil law, a coheir is a person who succeeds to the rights and occupies the place of, or is entitled to succeed to the estate of, a decedent, whether by an act of the decedent or by operation of law.

Example: John and Jane are siblings. When their father dies, they both inherit his house as coheirs. They each have an equal share in the property.

Explanation: In this example, John and Jane are coheirs because they both inherit the property from their father. As coheirs, they have an equal share in the property.

from what ive understood villanova's 3rd market is nyc but the philly ip market is a little small, most of the ppl i talked to had WE in tech first and thats how they got related roles in 1L/2L

To me it seems that if you don't have all your responses yet (which all schools know it has been a crazy cycle), then you shouldn't be penalized if you put down a deposit, get a response from another school, and choose to go that direction. If the school is stinky about it, it seems you would have some recourse through LSAC

swag yeah thats cool i think ill most likely just deposit at dozo to save myself the constant back-and-forth on the decision -- i dont think ive had a conversation yet where i end up choosing nova despite my best to advocate for it lol
[] c0bra1
17:55
like i said earlier i think if the col was an issue for me id probably pick nova but my heart has always been set on ny and i think id be fine over there
18:37
@c0bra1: Cardozo is such a sleeper holy. Bro NYC Market > most other markets. If u wanna end in NY, it is such a good value prop
18:38
