Alternative definition

A specific devise" is a testamentary disposition of real property, such as "I leave Blackacre to John Smith". A gift of a specific item of personal property is called a "specific bequest." Ownership of specifically devised property passes at death, subject to being available for claims if there are no other estate assets. Ownership of specifically bequeathed property does not pass to the beneficiary until it is distributed to him or her.
