Fideicommiss

/ˌfɪdeɪɪˈkɒmɪs/ noun

Definition

A form of trust in Roman law where property was left to someone to manage and eventually pass to another person as instructed.

Etymology

From Latin 'fidei commissum,' meaning 'trust committed'—'fidei' (of faith/trust) and 'commissum' (entrusted). This legal concept developed in Roman times as a workaround for property limitations.

Kelly Says

Fideicommiss is one of the most important words that shaped property law in Europe for 2,000 years—it's basically the ancestor of modern trusts and wills. It solved a major Roman legal problem: how to transfer wealth exactly as you wanted after death.
