A quick definition of factum:

Factum: A fact or an act that has happened or been done. It can also refer to a written document that shows the transfer of land ownership. Sometimes, it is used to describe something that cannot be done. In legal terms, it can mean a fact that needs to be proven or a piece of evidence that helps prove something. It can also refer to the formal process of making a will.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Factum (fak-tum) is a Latin term that refers to a fact or an act, such as the execution of a will or the physical presence of a person in a new domicile. It can also mean a statement of facts or a charter.

  • Factum imprestabile: This is a legal term that refers to an act that cannot be performed, or an impossibility. For example, it would be a factum imprestabile to ask someone to jump over the moon.
  • Factum probandum: This is a Latin term that refers to a fact that needs to be proved. For example, in a court case, the factum probandum might be whether or not the defendant committed a crime.
  • Factum proprium et recens: This is a historical legal term that refers to one's own act recently performed. For example, if someone signs a contract, that would be their factum proprium et recens.
  • Factum of a will: This refers to the formal ceremony of making a will, including the execution by the testator and attestation by the witnesses.

These examples illustrate how factum can refer to different types of facts, acts, or statements of facts in various legal contexts.
