The answer is Escheat.

Escheat is the government's right to property if it is not claimed for any reason after a certain period of time.

Explain law related to property- Escheat.

Escheat is a legal law that deals with what happens to property if it is not claimed. In this case it is withdrawn or returned to the government.
Escheat is the government's right to take or claim property when there is no clear owner. Death is common for estates that have no heirs, as well as dormant bank accounts, securities, etc. Someone doesn't have to die for a savings account balance to lapse.
A dying individual is not the same as being without an heir. When someone dies intestate or intestate, there are often heirs. Finding heirs through probate (usually children or close family members) prevents the property from being returned to the government.

How was the social structure in latin america similar to that of pre revolutioary France? how are they different?

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

Social structure in both Latin America before the wars for Independence and France before the French revolution was characterized by rich ruling minority and poor subjugated majority. The Catholic Church represented by the Clergy occupied the top position in both Latin America, followed by nobles in France and Peninsulars in Latin America. The poor minority in these regions was heavily taxed and mistreated which lead to revolting against the ruling higher classes.

Meanwhile, the key difference between social structures in Latin America and France was laying in the fact that in Latin America it was heavily marked by ethnicity, while in France it was not.

For example, in major parts of Latin America, Peninsulars were the pure-blood noble Spaniards that came from Spain to rule over Spanish colonies (corresponding to French nobles). On the bottom of Latin American social structure were Mulatto (mix of white an black blood), Mestizos (mix of white and Indigenous American blood) and ultimately African slaves.
