Definition of haeres
Definition: Haeres is a Latin term used in Roman law to refer to a successor who inherits the rights and liabilities of a deceased person, also known as an heir.
For example, if a person dies and leaves behind property, the haeres would be the person who inherits that property and becomes responsible for any debts or obligations associated with it.
There are different types of haeres, such as:
- Heres factus: An heir appointed by will.
- Heres legitimus: An heir entitled to succeed on intestacy by the laws of the Twelve Tables.
- Heres suus: A decedent's proper or natural heir; a lineal descendant of the deceased.
These examples illustrate how the term haeres is used in Roman law to refer to a person who inherits the rights and liabilities of a deceased person, depending on the circumstances of the inheritance.
The law is a jealous mistress, and requires a long and constant courtship.

Simple Definition
Haeres: A person who inherits the rights and responsibilities of someone who has died, also known as an heir. In ancient Rome, the haeres was an important legal concept because they took on both the assets and debts of the deceased. There were different types of haeres, such as those appointed by a will or those who inherited by law. Some haeres were slaves who were freed upon the death of their master and forced to accept the inheritance. The last or remote heir was called the ultimus haeres.
