Legal Definitions - paragium

PARAGIUM

Paragium is a legal term that comes from Law Latin. It means "parage," which is the right of inheritance shared equally among siblings.

For example, if a father dies and leaves behind three children, all three of them have an equal right to inherit his property. This is known as paragium.

Another example is if a mother dies and leaves behind two children, a son and a daughter. Both of them have an equal right to inherit her property, according to paragium.

These examples illustrate how paragium ensures that siblings have an equal right to inherit their parents' property. It prevents any one sibling from being favored over the others.
