Principles of Ademption Applied to Property Transferred Out of the Estate

The Third Department found the doctrine of ademption applicable to the lifetime transfer of property which divested the testator of ownership:

[The principles of ademption] are set forth in EPTL 3-4.3, which states that “[a] conveyance, settlement or other act of a testator by which an estate in his property, previously disposed of by will, is altered but not wholly divested does not revoke such disposition, but the estate in the property that remains in the testator passes to the beneficiaries pursuant to the disposition. However, any such conveyance, settlement or other act of the testator which is wholly inconsistent with such previous testamentary disposition revokes it.” Ademption will not lightly be found under EPTL 3-4.3, which is construed strictly given that its terms permit a testator to nullify dispositions without engaging in the elaborate formalities ordinarily required to revoke his or her will, either in whole or in part … . Matter of Braunstein, 2015 NY Slip Op 01703, 3rd Dept 2-26-15
