To cancel or revoke a specific gift left in a will, usually because the item no longer exists or has been sold before the person's death.
In the law of wills, to adeem describes what happens when a specific bequest can no longer be carried out, most often because the person who made the will sold, gave away, or lost the very item that had been promised. If a will leaves a particular painting to someone and the painting is sold before the owner dies, the gift is said to adeem, and the intended recipient generally receives nothing in its place. The related noun ademption names the legal doctrine itself.
