A quick definition of proprietas:

Term: PROPRIETAS

Definition: Proprietas means ownership. There are two types of ownership: naked ownership and full ownership. Naked ownership is just the title to property without being able to use it. Full ownership includes both the title and the ability to use the property.

A more thorough explanation:

Proprietas (prə-prī-təs) is a Latin term that refers to ownership.

Proprietas nuda (prə-prī-təs noo-də) is a type of ownership that only includes the title to property, without the right to use it.

Proprietas plena (prə-prī-təs plē-nə) is a type of ownership that includes both the title and the right to use the property.

When a person buys a house, they become the owner of the property. This is an example of proprietas plena because they have both the title to the property and the right to use it.

However, if a person inherits a property but cannot use it because it is being rented out, they only have proprietas nuda because they only have the title to the property, but not the right to use it.

Another example of proprietas nuda is when a person buys a car but leases it to someone else. The person who leased the car has the right to use it, but the owner only has the title to the car.

These examples illustrate the difference between proprietas nuda and proprietas plena and how ownership can be limited to just the title or include the right to use the property.
