hereditas

Read a random definition: vetera statuta

A quick definition of hereditas:

Hereditas is a Latin word that means inheritance. In Roman law, it referred to the right to inherit everything from a deceased person, whether they had a will or not. If the inheritance had more debts than assets, it was called a burdensome inheritance. Before someone officially became the heir, the property was called hereditas jacens. If there was no heir or legatee to take the estate, it was called an escheated estate. A succession or inheritance that devolved by operation of law rather than by will was called hereditas legitima. A sad or mournful inheritance that disturbs the natural order of mortality was called hereditas luctuosa. If the inheritance descended through the father, it was called hereditas paterna. If the inheritance was under a decedent's will, it was called hereditas testamentaria.

A more thorough explanation:

HEREDITAS

Hereditas is a Latin term that has several meanings:

  1. In Roman law, it refers to an inheritance by universal succession to a decedent, whether the decedent died testate or intestate, and whether in trust or not.
  2. In history, it refers to an estate transmissible by descent.

Examples:

  • Hereditas damnosa: A burdensome inheritance where the debts exceed the assets.
  • Hereditas jacens: Property belonging to an estate before an heir accepts it.
  • Hereditas legitima: A succession or inheritance devolving by operation of law rather than by will.
  • Hereditas luctuosa: A sad or mournful inheritance that disturbs the natural order of mortality, such as a parent inheriting a child's estate.
  • Hereditas paterna: A succession that descends through the father.
  • Hereditas testamentaria: Succession to an estate under a decedent's will.

These examples illustrate the different types of inheritances that can occur, such as a burdensome inheritance with more debts than assets, or a sad inheritance that goes against the natural order of mortality. Hereditas paterna refers to a succession that descends through the father, while hereditas testamentaria refers to a succession under a decedent's will.

@babycat: If the person I am mentoring decides to listen to my advice instead of just discussing my advice I will pay you to tutor her. You seem like a smart, good and well put together person that she can probably learn well from.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?
