ABSTRACT

The paper deals with the analysis of the provisions of ademption of legacies in the Indian succession act 1925. The subject is inserted in the chapter XVI of the act and specifically deals with what all constitute ademption of legacy and what all do not? The meaning of the term means the extinction of legacy either due to extinction or legacy or by an act of testator when he himself uses the legacy and exhausts it. Ademption also takes place when the legatee is transferred the legacy before the death of the testator and in such case the legatee is not entitled to that legacy which he receives after the death of the testator, this type of ademption is called ademption by satisfaction. In the following parts of the paper the types of ademption, along with what all constitute ademption of legacy are dealt with in the light of the act.
