Unreferenced date December 2009 Wills, trusts, estates Satisfaction of legacies is a common law doctrine that affects the disposition of property under a will law will . Under the doctrine, any gift that the maker of the will the testator gives during his lifetime to a named beneficiary of the will is presumptively treated as a satisfaction of that beneficiary s inheritance. After the death of the testator, the amount of the gift would then be deducted from the amount that the beneficiary would otherwise have received, even if it operates to entirely cancel out the inheritance. The presumption applies only when the gift is made after the will has already been executed. Many jurisdictions have repealed the satisfaction of legacies doctrine by statute. Even in those jurisdictions, however, a gift may still be treated as a satisfaction of legacy if such an intention is expressed in a written document made close to the time of the gift and signed by either the testator or the beneficiary. Jurisdictions that have enacted such a statute include Virginia . A similar common law doctrine operates regarding inheritance by intestacy i.e., without a will such a gift is then called an Advancement inheritance advancement . The concepts work similarly, but are independent of one another jurisdictions that have repealed the doctrine of satisfaction of legacies may still have the traditional doctrine of advancement in place. This may be because the law presumes that a person who was possessed of enough sophistication to make a will would know how to amend that will or otherwise document their desire that the gift be deemed satisfied.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Accord and satisfaction is a contract law concept about the purchase of the release from a debt obligation. The payment is typically less than what is owed and is not paid by the actual performance of the original obligation. The accord is the agreement to discharge the obligation and the satisfaction is the legal consideration which binds the parties to the agreement. If a person is sued over an alleged debt, that person bears the burden of proving the affirmative defense of accord and satisfaction. Illustration Contract law Accord and satisfaction is a settlement of an unliquidated debt. For example, a builder is contracted to build a homeowner a garage for 35,000. The contract called for 17,500 prior to starting construction, to disburse 10,000 during various stages of construction, and to make a final payment of 7,500 at completion. At completion, the homeowner complained about inferior work quality and refused to make the final payment. After a mutual settlement agreement, the builder accepted 4,000 as full payment. Thereby, a new contract was formed by offer, acceptance, and consideration. The consideration is that for a 3,500 savings, the homeowner gives up that which he is entitled, a well constructed garage. The builder gives up his right to full price to avoid suit for inferior performance. When accord and settlement has occurred, the homeowner ... and satisfaction.
