Casket (property)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Casket (from Latin Scatola , "box, treasure chest") was the name of the private property of a sovereign . There were caskets and caskets.

In contrast to state and household assets ( family entails ), the sovereign's private assets were subject to the free disposal of the owner, both among the living and due to death, according to the general rules of private law , which were not modified by constitutional or private princely law.

However, many house laws of sovereign families stipulated that immovable things belonging to the casket, which the purchaser had not had during his lifetime (including in his will), should become permanently attached to the house fideikommiss upon his death.

On the other hand, in Prussia the legal principle was that such goods were incorporated into the state domain .

In Prussia, the state's financial system until 1713 was based on the difference between domain and casket goods , which Friedrich Wilhelm I abolished in an edict of August 13, 1713 in favor of a uniform design of the chamber goods .
