“Commorientes” is a legal term in Latin which means “simultaneous death” or “those who die together.” This term is used to determine the order of inheritance when two or more people die together in a common accident or event, and it is not clear who died first. In such cases, the law may have specific rules or presumptions in place to distribute their assets and estates among the heirs. The concept of commorientes helps to resolve issues related to the simultaneous deaths of individuals in matters of inheritance and succession.
