Ad colligenda bona is a Latin phrase that approximately translates as "to collect the goods".
In cases involving something quid pro quo, a prosecutor may be eligible for certain goods.
In English law, a grant ad colligenda bona is sometimes applied for by parties interested in the administration of a deceased person's estate.
Unlike an ordinary executor or administrator, someone with a grant ad colligenda cannot make any distribution of the estate's assets.
[2] Their role is to protect the assets of the estate while the dispute surrounding the will is resolved.
