Abatement of debts and legacies is a common law doctrine of wills that holds that when the equitable assets of a deceased person are not sufficient to satisfy fully all the creditors, their debts must abate proportionately, and they must accept a dividend. Also, in the case of legacies when the funds or assets out of which they are payable are not sufficient to pay them in full, the legacies abate in proportion, unless there is a priority given specially to any particular legacy. Annuities are also subject to the same rule as general legacies. The order of abatement is usually: # Intestate property # The residuary of the estate # General Devises—''i.e.'', cash gifts # Demonstrative Devises—''i.e.'', cash gifts from a specific account, stocks, bonds, securities, etc. # Specific Devises—''i.e.'', specified items of personal property, real property, etc. Non-probate property—''i.e.'', life insurance policies—do not abate.

The Birth Of Tragedy
''The Birth of Tragedy Out of the Spirit of Music'' () is an 1872 work of dramatic theory by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. It was reissued in 1886 as ''The Birth of Tragedy, Or: Hellenism and Pessimism'' (). The later edition contained a prefatory essay, " An Attempt at Self-Criticism", wherein Nietzsche commented on this earlier book. The book Nietzsche found in classical Athenian tragedy an art form that transcended the pessimism and nihilism of a fundamentally meaningless world. Originally educated as a philologist, Nietzsche discusses the history of the tragic form and introduces an intellectual dichotomy between the Dionysian and the Apollonian (very loosely: reality as disordered and undifferentiated by forms versus reality as ordered and differentiated by forms). Nietzsche claims life always involves a struggle between these two elements, each battling for control over the existence of humanity. In Nietzsche's words, "Wherever the Dionysian prevailed, the Ap ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
