<h1>Legal definition of 'assent' requires active agreement and mental acceptance, not mere silence or passive behavior.</h1> Legal terminology defines 'assent' as both a noun and verb indicating agreement, concurrence, or approval. As a noun, it represents passive concurrence or mental acceptance requiring knowledge and permission from the assenting party. As a verb, it implies affirmative action involving acceptance, agreement, or consent, distinguished from mere silence. Various legal dictionaries emphasize assent as the meeting of minds between parties, requiring active participation rather than passive inaction. The term encompasses formal approval, compliance with requests, and mental acceptance of propositions. Royal assent specifically refers to sovereign approval of parliamentary bills, while executor's assent relates to legacy agreements.
