In the [[law]] of [[evidence]], a '''presumption''' of a particular fact can be made without the aid of proof in some situations. The types of presumption includes a rebuttable discretionary presumption, a rebuttable mandatory presumption, and an irrebutable or conclusive presumption. The invocation of a presumption will normally shift the [[burden of proof]] from one party to the opposing party in a court trial. Presumptions are sometimes categorized into two types: presumptions without basic facts, and presumptions with basic facts.
* types: [[Rebuttable presumption]], [[Conclusive presumption]]
* examples of presumption without basic facts: [[Presumption of innocence]],
* example of presumption with basic facts: [[Presumption of death]], e.g law says if a person has missing for 7 years or more (basic fact), that person shall be presumed to be dead.
