Latin term or phrase: praesto or....

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

Explanation:
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!

Explanation:
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...
