PER TACITAM RELOCATIONEM

Per tacitam relocationem means "by tacit relocation" in Latin. It refers to a historical practice where a person's property rights were transferred without their explicit consent or knowledge. This could happen through a variety of means, such as inheritance or marriage.

One example of per tacitam relocationem is when a father dies and his property automatically passes to his eldest son, without any formal transfer of ownership. Another example is when a woman marries and her property becomes her husband's, without her explicitly agreeing to the transfer.

These examples illustrate how property rights could be transferred without explicit consent or knowledge, through the practice of per tacitam relocationem.
