Description
Bell, C.J. Raker Wilner Cathell Harrell Battaglia Greene, JJ. In this case we are asked to revise the Maryland law of ademption by satisfaction and require that a testator's intention to adeem a legacy can be proven only by a writing made contemporaneous with an inter vivos gift. Petitioner, in its attempt to persuade us to change the law, relies in part on the assertion that the doctrine of ademption is in conflict with Md. Code (2001), § 3-106 of the Estates & Trusts Article, the Restatement (Third) of the Law of Property (Wills and Other Donative Transfers) § 5.4 (1999), and the Uniform Probate Code §2-609 (amended 1990). In addition, petitioner assails the decision of the intermediate appellate court, YIVO Institute for Jewish Research v. Zaleski, 156 Md. App. 527, 847 A.2d 510 (2004), and contends that the Court of Special Appeals misapplied the law of ademption in its review of the decision of the Orphans' Court. For reasons to follow in this opinion, we decline the invitation to rewrite the law of ademption and affirm the judgment of the intermediate appellate court.
