Term: CRETION
Definition: Cretion is a way for someone to accept an inheritance that they were appointed to receive in a will. They have 100 days to decide if they want to accept it or not. If they don't decide in time, they lose their right to the inheritance. Cretion used to be a common practice in Roman law, but it is no longer used today.
