particular successor

Read a random definition: citatio ad reassumendam causam

A quick definition of particular successor:

A particular successor is someone who takes over the rights and responsibilities of another person or company, but only for a specific thing or property. For example, if someone inherits a house from their parents, they are a particular successor to that property. This is different from a universal successor, who takes over all the rights and responsibilities of the previous owner, such as in the case of an inheritance of an entire estate.

A more thorough explanation:

A particular successor is a person who succeeds to the rights and obligations that pertain only to the property conveyed. This is different from a universal successor, who succeeds to all the rights and powers of a former owner.

  • John inherits his grandfather's house. He is a particular successor because he only succeeds to the rights and obligations that pertain to the house, not to any other property his grandfather owned.
  • When a corporation is dissolved, its assets are distributed to its statutory successors according to the laws of the state of incorporation. The statutory successor is a particular successor because they only succeed to the assets of the dissolved corporation, not to any other assets.

These examples illustrate how a particular successor only succeeds to specific rights and obligations, rather than to all of the rights and powers of a former owner or corporation.
