A quick definition of freedom of disposition:

Freedom of disposition is the idea that when someone dies, they should be able to decide what happens to their things. This means they can give their stuff to whoever they want, like their family or friends. Some people think this is a natural right, while others think it's a political right that has some rules. There are a few reasons why people should have this freedom. First, it encourages people to work hard and be productive. Second, lots of people want to be able to give their things away how they want. Finally, it's a way to say thank you to people who helped you during your life. In the United States, people have a lot of freedom to decide what happens to their things when they die. They usually do this by writing a will, but the people who are supposed to get the things can choose not to take them if they want.

A more thorough explanation:

Freedom of disposition is a principle in trusts and estates law that allows people to decide how their property will be distributed after they die. This means that individuals have the right to choose who will inherit their property and how much they will receive.

There are two schools of thought regarding freedom of disposition. The first is that it is a natural right and should not be restricted by the law. The second is that it is a political right and subject to some constraints.

There are several reasons why freedom of disposition is important. First, it provides an incentive for people to be productive during their lifetime. Second, it is highly desired by many people and therefore creates social utility. Finally, it allows individuals to repay past social services performed by others during their lifetime.

In the United States, freedom of disposition is allowed with very few restrictions. The most common way to exercise this right is through a will. However, individuals named in a will are free to disclaim their inheritance, which is one restriction on the decedent's freedom of disposition.

For example, if a person writes a will and leaves their entire estate to their spouse, they are exercising their freedom of disposition. The spouse has the right to inherit the property and distribute it as they see fit. However, if the spouse chooses to disclaim their inheritance, the property will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy.

Tell us what's important to you

Yeah, I would have definitely gone to the hotel if I knew they booked a room for me. At the very least, it would be proper to show up personally and explain your extraneous circumstances

Nah but it's in your name. I went to an ASD. I asked the school for an extra night and they gave it to me. You just need to plan things better.

16:46

Law-Shark
16:46
Well, you know now what to do.
16:47
well on their end they prob shouldn't just be buying hotel rooms for ppl who don't request it and then getting mad I didn't go
16:48

16:48
Did you get any materials for admitted students day explaining that they would be booking hotel rooms?
16:49
there was an opt in on the form but I didn't select yes
16:49
Hmm, that's weird
16:50
i think it's unprofessional of them to call you like what if you had an emergency and had to leave? why is it their business why you didn't stay? not like they're lacking money and $100.00 hotel room is gona make them bankrupt
16:50
i figured it was an error and I was on the road so I didn't read into it. plus it would make more sense for it to be the night before cuz it started at 9am? so I was like uhhh and paid it no mind
16:51
@bigfatsloth: that's what i'm saying, they were gonna pay no matter what
16:54
"This is like peak disconenct between the male and female brain." like bffr
16:55
It was probably an administrative error then. I can't imagine why they would book hotel rooms for people that didn't select yes. I would maybe follow up with them and apologize for the misunderstanding to avoid any awkwardness
