Law: Contract(s)
I had to translate one word from Bulgarian into English but I didn't manage to find it. It's connected with Obligation Law, esp 'praesto' in contracts. So I thought that it maybe comes from Latin. In Bulgarian it sounds 'prestacia'. Do you have any idea what it could be? I need this term in English. Thank you.

I discharge/fulfill/exhibit *** at hand, ready
Dear Milena,
"praesto" is a Latin word.
As a verb, it is a first person singular present of indicative:
-I excel/fulfill/exhibit/perform/discharge... (many meanings!)
As an adverb, it means "ready" / "at hand".
I hope this helps you a bit!

Latin term (edited):
prestation
benefit, allowance
There is a French word (also of Latin origin) meaning several things, including benefits and allowances. But I don't quite see how would this suit you...
Discussion
n. fulfillment of one's obligations required by contract. Specific performance of a contract may be demanded in a lawsuit. Partial performance is short of full performance spelled out in the contract, but if the contract provided for a series of acts or deliveries with payment for each of the series, there may be partial recovery for what has been performed or delivered even if there is not full performance.
