The distinction between specific and general devises usually arises in a situation involving ademption. Ademption occurs when the testator names a specific devise in their will, but at the time of death they do not own the specific item they referred to, or the item is no longer a part of the estate. In this situation the gift is said to be âadeemedâ, which means that the gift fails and the beneficiary receives nothing.
