Question

If a child is not specifically provided for in a will either by gift or expressed exclusion it is called an ademption.​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ademption refers to the situation where a specific gift in a will cannot be given because it is no longer in the testator's estate at the time of death. When a child is not specifically provided for in a will, it is not called ademption; it may raise issues of pretermitted heir status or intentional disinheritance, depending on the jurisdiction's laws.
