Ademption

The revocation, recalling, or cancellation of a legacy, according to the apparent intention of the testator, implied by the law from acts done by him in his life, though such acts do not amount to an express revocation of it.; “The word ‘aderaption’ is the most significan because, being a term of art, and never used for any other purpose, itdoes not suggest any idea foreign to that intended to beconveyed. Itis used to describe the act by which the testator pays to his legatee, in his life-time, a general legacy which by his will ke had proposed to give him at his death. (1 Rop. Leg. p, 305.) It is also used to dénote the act by which 4 specific legacy has become inoperative on account of the testator haying parted with the subject.” 16 N. Y. 40, Ademption, in strictness, is predicable only of specific, and satisiaction of general legacies.
