How Do You Spell PRETERMITTED?

Pronunciation: [pɹɪtˈɜːmɪtɪd] (IPA)

Pretermitted is spelled /prɪ'tɜːmɪtɪd/, with emphasis on the second syllable. The word refers to a legal term that means to omit, overlook or leave out something (such as an heir or inheritance) from a will or testament. Its spelling combines the prefix "pre-" meaning before with the verb "termitted" meaning granted or assigned. The correct spelling of pretermitted is important in legal and estate documentation to ensure clarity and accuracy in conveying the meaning and intention of the document.

PRETERMITTED Meaning and Definition

1. The term "pretermitted" is an adjective derived from the verb "pretermit," which refers to the act of omitting, neglecting, or ignoring something or someone explicitly or unintentionally. In legal and financial contexts, pretermitted often describes a person who has been accidentally or intentionally excluded or overlooked from the provisions of a will, trust, or legal document.

   Specifically, pretermitted may apply to an individual who should have received a bequest or inheritance, but was not mentioned or provided for in a deceased person's testamentary instrument. This oversight can occur due to various reasons, such as the birth or adoption of a child after the creation of the will, marriage or divorce, or simply an oversight or error by the testator, the one who made the will.

   In these cases, if a person is deemed pretermitted, they may still be entitled to a share of the estate, even though they were inadvertently excluded from the document. Pretermitted individuals are usually protected by laws that operate to prevent unintentional disinheritance and ensure fair distribution of assets. These laws may vary depending on the jurisdiction but generally exist to ensure that a person is not unintentionally overlooked or excluded from benefiting from a deceased person's estate plan.

   Overall, the term "pretermitted" describes the situation where someone is purposefully or inadvertently disregarded or forgotten in a legal document, particularly a will or trust, and is usually associated with the legal rights and remedies provided to those pretermitted individuals.
