metadata.value: The article analyses the historical process of dividing the original fideicommissum institution
  into separate types: family fideicommissum, singular fideicommissum and universal
  fideicommissum. Family fideicommissum appeared in the inheritance law of Ancient Rome
  due to the legislator’s desire to limit the freedom of disposition of property that a legatee and
  other members of his family used to have. The aim of such a limitation was to keep the estate
  within one Roman family. The author concludes that the legal nature of fideicommissum was
  based on the transfer of the estate’s assets only (and not liabilities) from an heir to a legatee.
  This led to the gradual unification of bequests and singular fideicommissa in Roman law. The
  author bases the analysis of peculiarities of universal fideicommissum on its comparison with
  legatum partitionis. As a result, it is found that there was a fundamental change in the legal
  nature of universal fideicommissum. A universal fideicommissum was originally based on the
  singular succession principle, but the Trebellian senate’s decree (senatusconsultum Trebellianum)
  permitted the transfer of liabilities, which were a part of estate property, from an heir
  to a legatee as well as assets, thus permitting universal succession. Due to this, the merger of universal fideicommissa with the bequest became impossible and universal fideicommissum
  retained its independence in the Roman inheritance law. In course of the research, the author
  uses translations of fragments from the most important monuments of Roman law — the
  Justinian Novels, which have not been published in Russian before.
