A more thorough explanation:

USQUE AD SENTENTIAM

Usque ad sententiam is a Latin term used in law which means "until the pronouncing of judgment".

Executors could be granted certain powers only usque ad sententiam.

For example, if a person dies and leaves a will, the executor of the will may only have certain powers until the court pronounces judgment on the validity of the will. Once the judgment is made, the executor's powers may change depending on the outcome.

Another example could be in a criminal trial, where the defendant may be held in custody usque ad sententiam, meaning until the judgment is pronounced by the court.

The term usque ad sententiam is used to indicate a temporary state of affairs that will change once a judgment is pronounced. The examples illustrate how the term is used in different legal contexts to indicate the limited duration of certain powers or rights.
