| 单词 | ademption (of legacies) |
| 释义 | ademption (of legacies) ademption (of legacies) in both the English and the Scots law of succession, a special legacy that specifies that the gift (e.g. 'my trea- sured dictionary') will be cancelled or reduced (adeemed) if the object is no longer part of the estate at the date of death, as where the TES- TATOR has sold the dictionary to a book collector. A specific legacy of£1,000 sterling may be reduced if, before the testator's death, he has given the legatee a portion of the money. Furthermore, if a specific legacy changes its nature, the legacy will adeem, as the description of the legacy will no longer match the object. |
