A quick definition of confirmatio ad omissa vel male appretiata:
Term: CONFIRMATIO AD OMISSA VEL MALE APPRETIATA
Definition: In Scots law, when someone dies and their executor provides an inventory of their belongings, sometimes they might forget to include something or value it incorrectly. In this case, the executor can confirm (or add) the missing or wrongly valued item to the inventory.
A more thorough explanation:
Confirmatio ad omissa vel male appretiata is a Latin term used in Scots law. It refers to the process of an executor confirming (or validating) items that were either left out or incorrectly valued in a previously provided inventory.
For example, if a deceased person's estate was valued at $100,000 in the initial inventory, but it was later discovered that there were additional assets worth $20,000 that were not included, the executor would need to go through the process of confirmatio ad omissa vel male appretiata to add those assets to the estate's value.
Another example would be if an item was incorrectly valued in the initial inventory. For instance, if a painting was mistakenly valued at $500 when it was actually worth $5,000, the executor would need to go through the process of confirmatio ad omissa vel male appretiata to correct the value of the painting.
The examples illustrate how confirmatio ad omissa vel male appretiata is used to correct errors or omissions in an inventory of a deceased person's estate. This process ensures that all assets are accounted for and valued correctly, which is important for distributing the estate's assets to the rightful heirs or beneficiaries.
