mortis causa

Read a random definition: fictitious party

A quick definition of mortis causa:

Mortis causa refers to a type of gift that is made in anticipation of the donor's imminent death. This gift is only valid if the donor actually dies from the illness or danger they were facing, and if there was a delivery of the gift. It is similar to a testamentary disposition, meaning it is like a will, and the donor can still revoke the gift until their death. This type of gift is also known as a gift causa mortis or a transfer in contemplation of death.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Mortis causa refers to a gift made in contemplation of the donor's imminent death. The three essential elements of a mortis causa gift are that it must be made with a view to the donor's present illness or peril, the donor must actually die from that illness or peril, without ever recovering, and there must be a delivery.

Examples: A person who is terminally ill may give a valuable piece of jewelry to a loved one as a mortis causa gift. Another example is a person who is on their deathbed and gives their car to a friend as a mortis causa gift.

Explanation: In both examples, the gifts were made in contemplation of the donor's imminent death. The donors were aware of their present illness or peril and intended to give the gifts before passing away. The gifts were also delivered to the recipients.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
