AncillaryA proceeding which is auxiliary or subordinate to another proceeding. In probate, a proceeding in a state where a decedent owned property but was not domiciled.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Proceeding
In its general acceptation, this word means the form in which actions are to be brought and defended, the manner of intervening in suits, of conducting them, the mode of deciding them, of opposing judgments and of executing.
Probate
The formal certificate given by a court that certifies that a will has been proven, validated and registered and which, from that point on, gives the executor the legal authority to execute the will. A "probate court" is a name given to the court that has this power to ratify wills.
State
1) Government. In its most enlarged sense, it signifies a self-sufficient body of persons united together in one community for the defence of their rights, and to do right and justice to foreigners. In this sense, the state means the whole people united into one body politic; and the state, and the people of the state, are equivalent expressions. 2) Condition of persons. This word has various acceptations. If we inquire into its origin, it will be found to come from the Latin status, which is derived from the verb stare, sto, whence has been made statio, which signifies the place where a person is located, stat, to fulfil the obligations which are imposed upon him.
Decedent
In the acts of descent and distribution in Pennsylvania, this word is frequently used for a deceased person, testate or intestate.
Property
Property is commonly thought of as a thing which belongs to someone and over which a person has total control. But, legally, it is more properly defined as a collection of legal rights over a thing. These rights are usually total and fully enforceable by the state or the owner against others. It has been said that "property and law were born and die together. Before laws were made there was no property. Take away laws and property ceases." before laws were written and enforced, property had no relevance. Possession was all that mattered. There are many classifications of property, the most common being between real property or immoveable property (real estate such as land or buildings) and "chattel", or "moveable" (things which are not attached to the land such as a bicycle, a car or a hammer) and between public (property belonging to everybody or to the state) and private property.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Ancient house
A house which has stood for twenty years.
Ancillaries
Ancillaries in the conflict of laws are the time limitations, cross-defenses, rules of evidence, presumptions, burdens of proof, order of proof, etc., which affect or qualify the legal relationship. They were classically deemed procedural (and thus of the forum) but, in reality, ancillaries have a proper law of their own, which is often the proper law of the contract or tort/delict to which they are connected, but not necessarily so.
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Amiables compositeurs
Clauses in arbitration agreements allowing the arbitrators to act as "amiables compositeurs" permit the arbitrators to decide the dispute according to the legal principles they believe to be just, without being limited to any particular national law. The resulting arbitral awards are frequently based on equity or on the lex mercatoria, the arbitrators being authorized, as "amiables compositeurs", to disregard legal technicalities and strict constructions which they would be required to apply in their decisions if the arbitration agreement contained no "amiable compositeur" clause.
Amicus curiae
(United Kingdom) A friend of the court.
Amicus curić
A friend of the court. Imports friendly intervention of counsel to remind the court of some matter of law which has escaped its notice and in regard to which it appears to be in danger of going wrong. It is not his function to take upon himself the management of a cause.
