- Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Usucaption (Latin usucapio) (in U.S. and U.K. known as acquisitive prescription), is a concept found in civil law systems and has its origin in the Roman law of property.Usucaption is a method by which ownership of property can be gained by lapse of time (acquiescence). While usucaption has been compared with adverse possession (that is, squatting), the true effect of usucaption is to remedy defects in title.The necessity for usucaption arose in Roman law with the divide between res mancipi and res nec mancipi. Res mancipi required elaborate and inconvenient methods to transfer title (a formal mancipatio ceremony, or in iure cessio). Res nec manicipi could be transferred by traditio (delivery) or in iure cessio.
