Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rule of ademption means that if the specific property that was bequeathed in a will is no longer in the possession of the testator at the time of their death, the gift fails and the beneficiary receives nothing. Therefore, since Frances did not have the 46-inch LCD television at the time of her death, the gift fails and Jared will not receive any television.
