ADEEM Meaning and
Definition
-
Adeem is a verb that refers to the legal act of revoking or rendering void a bequest or gift in a will. It typically occurs when the testator (one who makes a will) sells, disposes of, or otherwise no longer possesses the property or asset that was initially intended to be bestowed upon a beneficiary in their last will and testament. When adeeming takes place, the specific gift or bequest is rendered null and void, as it is no longer available for distribution as originally intended.
The act of adeeming can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the legal requirements in force. In some cases, if the property originally intended to be given as a gift is replaced by something else, the replacement is considered to be adeemed, while in others, it may require the explicit intention of the testator to revoke the original gift.
This concept of adeem is primarily used in legal and testamentary contexts, ensuring that the distribution of assets in a will is fair and accurately reflects the testator's intentions. It prevents beneficiaries from claiming gifts or bequests that are no longer owned by the testator, thereby maintaining the integrity of the estate distribution process.

Etymology of ADEEM
The word adeem derives from the Old French term adeemier, which can be traced back to the Latin word adimere. Adimere is a combination of the prefix ad- (meaning to, towards) and emere (meaning to take, to buy). Therefore, the etymology of adeem suggests its meaning as to take away, to revoke, to annul.
