Furthermore, according to the speech of the Divine Marcus referring to Emperor Marcus Aurelius and the Senate Consult which followed it, concerning future alimony left by testament or any last will—whether through a legacy, a fideicommissum testamentary trust, a donation in case of death, or an acquisition in case of death—it cannot be settled without a praetor or governor.

Although it is possible concerning past things, as also concerning those which were either donated between the living or are owed from a contract.

This right established in alimony has also been extended to housing, footwear, and clothing.

XXI.
But the settlement of alimony is disapproved by the speech of the Divine Marcus only if, through it, the alimony is intercepted and the condition of those receiving alimony becomes worse, not if it becomes better; which matter has the deliberation of the praetor or governor.

Moreover, concerning the property of wards and minors, which cannot be alienated without the decree of the praetor or governor, a settlement interposed without his authority, such that property is alienated through it, is of no moment.

This proceeds whether the ward or minor wishes to settle without a tutor or curator, or with one intervening. For in the alienation of those things for which the authority of the praetor or governor is necessary, they are not alienated correctly and usefully even with the consent of the tutor or curator without a decree.
