A quick definition of concursus:

Concursus: A legal process where two or more people claim ownership of the same thing, like money or property. They have to sort out who really owns it. It can also be used to determine if someone is fit for a job in a church.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Concursus is a Latin term that means "a running together." In law, it refers to:

  1. A legal proceeding where two or more creditors claim an interest in a fund or estate, often in opposition to each other, to sort out and adjudicate all the claims on the fund.
  2. Inter-pleader in civil law.
  3. An examination to determine a person's fitness for parochial office in ecclesiastical law.

Examples:

  • When a person dies and leaves behind a will, there may be multiple creditors who claim a right to the estate. In such cases, a concursus may be initiated to sort out and adjudicate all the claims on the estate.
  • In civil law, if two or more parties claim ownership of the same property, a concursus may be initiated to determine the rightful owner.
  • In ecclesiastical law, a concursus may be conducted to determine a person's fitness for a parochial office, such as a bishop or a priest.

The examples illustrate how concursus is used in different legal contexts to resolve disputes and determine the rightful claimant to a fund, estate, or property.
