Quorum bonorum
(Concerning the interdict quorum bonorum.)
1 Ulpianus libro sexagensimo septimo ad edictum. Ait praetor: ‘Quorum bonorum ex edicto meo illi possessio data est, quod de his bonis pro herede aut pro possessore possides possideresve, si nihil usucaptum esset, quod quidem dolo malo fecisti, uti desineres possidere, id illi restituas’. 1Hoc interdictum restitutorium est et ad universitatem bonorum, non ad singulas res pertinet et appellatur ‘quorum bonorum’ et est apiscendae possessionis universorum bonorum.
1 Ulpianus, On the Edict, Book LXVII. The Prætor says: “Whenever possession of the property of an estate is granted to anyone under my Edict, you will restore to him everything belonging to said estate which you hold, either as heir, or merely as possessor, if there is no usucaption, or if he did not act in bad faith in order to avoid retaining possession.” 1This interdict is restitutory, and applies to all property, and not to certain specific things. It is styled Quorum bonorum, and has for its object the obtaining possession of the entire property in dispute.
2 Paulus libro vicensimo ad edictum. Interdicto quorum bonorum debitores hereditarii non tenentur, sed tantum corporum possessores.
2 Paulus, On the Edict, Book XX. The debtors of an estate are not liable under the interdict Quorum bonorum, but only those who have possession of any property.
