Legal Definitions - quaequidem

quaequidem

Quaequidem is a Latin phrase that means "which indeed" or "accordingly." In legal documents, it is used as an introductory phrase to show how the grantor obtained title.

• John, quaequidem inherited the property from his father, hereby grants the land to Sarah.
• The land, quaequidem was purchased by the grantor from the previous owner, is now being transferred to the new owner.

These examples show how the phrase "quaequidem" is used to introduce information about how the grantor obtained title to the property being transferred. It is important to include this information in legal documents to establish the legitimacy of the transfer.
