👉 Passation is a legal concept in which a person or entity gives another person, known as the "beneficiary," an interest in property or a share of profits. The act of passing ownership to someone else without their consent is referred to as a "passivation." In the context of inheritance law, passations are often used to determine who will inherit property from a deceased individual, and they can also be used for other purposes such as providing a means for beneficiaries to receive benefits or compensation.
