A quick definition of adeem:

Adeem means to take back a gift that was promised in a will because the thing that was promised doesn't exist anymore or doesn't belong to the person who wrote the will when they die. This happens when the thing that was promised is sold, given away, or destroyed before the person who wrote the will dies. To avoid confusion, sometimes people will say in their will that the gift only counts if they still own it when they die.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Adeem is a legal term that means to cancel or withdraw a bequest (a gift of property made in a will) because the property no longer belongs to the person who made the will (the testator) at the time of their death. This happens when the property that was supposed to be given away is sold, destroyed, given away, or no longer exists when the testator dies. To avoid confusion, some wills include the phrase "if owned by me at my death" when making a bequest of property.

Example: Let's say that in his will, John leaves his car to his son, Tom. However, before John dies, he sells the car and buys a new one. When John dies, Tom cannot inherit the car because it no longer exists. This is an example of adeem.

Another example: Mary's will states that she leaves her house to her daughter, Sarah. However, before Mary dies, she gives the house to her son, David, as a gift. When Mary dies, Sarah cannot inherit the house because it no longer belongs to Mary. This is another example of adeem.

These examples illustrate how adeem works in practice. If the property that was supposed to be given away no longer exists or belongs to the testator at the time of their death, the bequest is cancelled or withdrawn.

Hi everyone! Decided a bit too late that I wanted to go into law. GPA currently stands at 3.76 (one more semester to go) and I'm interested in going into immigration law. Anybody got any advice for LSAT studying and applications? I plan on taking a gap year to have some time for internships and such :)

Apply for the LSAT fee waiver to try to mitigate the cost of materials! 7Sage is $1 for a year if you have the fee waiver. I also think you should try to work in an immigration firm in some way to see if it’s something you really want to pursue and to add to your resume. Good luck!!! One tip I would also give is to not sign up for the LSAT until you’re practice tests average are around the score you’re aiming for
