tacit acceptance

Read a random definition: Defense Threat Reduction Agency

A quick definition of tacit acceptance:

Tacit acceptance is when someone accepts something without saying it out loud. In civil law, this can happen when someone shows they accept an offer in other ways, like by doing something that shows they agree. It can also happen when someone accepts an inheritance by doing something that only the heir would be allowed to do.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Tacit acceptance is a type of acceptance in civil law that is indicated by circumstances or operation of law rather than express words. It can also refer to the acceptance of an inheritance, indicated by the heir's actions that show an intent to accept it and that the heir would have no right to do except in that capacity.

Example 1: If someone offers to sell their car to another person and the other person takes the car and starts driving it, this could be considered tacit acceptance of the offer.

Example 2: If someone passes away and leaves an inheritance to their children, one of the children starts selling off the deceased's property, this could be considered tacit acceptance of the inheritance.

These examples illustrate how tacit acceptance can be indicated by actions rather than words. In both cases, the person's actions show that they have accepted the offer or inheritance, even if they did not explicitly say so.
