Confusing

After reading this, I still don't know what Usucaption is... could somebody who does make this article a bit clearer? And by the way, isn't this a stub? FerralMoonrender 19:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article also doesn't cite sources. FerralMoonrender 19:57, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Usucaption is a method by which ownership of property can be gained by lapse of time". An example would be someone that starts living on an empty home without consent from the owner. If the owner does not take action on a certain amount of time(that varies from legislation to legislation), the person becomes the owner(the definition of "owner" and the process on how one becomes an "owner" is also a subject of discussion on civil law). This is an over simplification, of course.

Yeah, I'm aware I'm replying to a question posed more than 2 years ago. 201.79.174.197 (talk) 13:01, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To not merge, on the grounds that both the modern and Roman uses are independently notable and useful. Klbrain (talk) 13:12, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This page should be merged with usucapio.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Whoiswinstonsmith (talk • contribs)

I've taken the liberty of slightly reformatting your request - hope you don't mind - and do remember to sign your posts to talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). On topic, I created the usucapio page because this page hinted that there might be modern systems other than Roman law that employed a process by this name. I have no idea personally whether that's the case. If it is,m then this page should serve as a summary of each of them, possibly also combining any shared features. Accordingly, if there are others, this shouldn't be merged. If there are, it should. Grandiose (talk)

Agreed about the merger point. I do not know of modern usucapion either, but even if there are contemporary usucapion processes, the Roman one is best known. This article should however be kept separate whilst there's no information about it. Thank you for the reformatting: It all helps me to learn wikipedia editing, likewise about signatures.

As of today, both articles are mostly discussing roman usucapio. But as this procedures is still in use, at least in some european countries (like France and Switzerland), I think that the article on usucaption is really usefull, even if it clearly need to be completed on contemporary uses.--Taillevent (talk) 09:15, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
