Advancement Definition

A gift by anticipation from a parent to a child of the whole or a part of what it is supposed such child would inherit on the death of the parent. 6 Watts (Pa.) 87; 4 Serg. & R. (Pa.) 333; 17 Mass. 358; 11 Johns. (N. Y.) 91; Wright (Ohio) 339. An advancement can be made only by a parent to a child (5 Miss. 356; 2 Jones [N. C] 137) ; or in some states, by statute, to a grandchild (4 Kent, Comm. 419; 4 Watts [Pa.] 82; 4 Ves. 437). The intention of the parent is to decide whether a gift is intended as an advancement. 23 Pa. St. 85; 11 Johns. (N. Y.) 91; 2 McCord (S. C.) 103. See 26 Vt. 665. Ademption, distinguished. An advancement, unlike an ademption has to do with intestate estates only. Debt, distinguished. An advancement differs from a debt in that there is no liability on the part of the child to repay during the lifetime of the donor, nor after his death except by way of suffering a deduction from his portion of the estate. Gift, distinguished. An advancement differs from a gift in that it is charged against the child. Loan, distinguished. An advancement is not the equivalent of a loan, as one making an advancement cannot require its return. 228 111. 288.
