A quick definition of collation:

Collation is the process of checking if a copy is the same as the original. It's like making sure a photocopy is exactly like the original document. It can also mean dividing someone's property fairly among their children after they pass away. In some religions, it's when a bishop gives someone a special job in the church.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Collation refers to the comparison of a copy with its original to ensure its accuracy. It can also refer to the process of taking into account the value of advancements made by an intestate to their children for the purpose of dividing the estate in accordance with the intestacy statute. In ecclesiastical law, collation is the act of conferring a benefice in which the bishop holds the right of advowson, combining the acts of presentation and institution.

  • When a publisher prints a book, they must perform a collation to ensure that the printed copy matches the original manuscript.
  • After the death of their father, the siblings had to go through a collation process to divide the estate fairly.
  • The bishop performed the collation of the benefice, which involved presenting and instituting the new priest.

These examples illustrate the different contexts in which collation can be used. In the first example, collation refers to the process of comparing a copy with its original to ensure accuracy. In the second example, collation is used in the context of dividing an estate fairly. In the third example, collation is used in the context of conferring a benefice in ecclesiastical law.
