(a)Property a testator gave during lifetime to a person is treated as a satisfaction of a devise in whole or in part, only if

(ii)the testator declared in a writing that the gift is in satisfaction of the devise or that its value is to be deducted from the value of the devise, or
(iii)the devisee acknowledged in writing that the gift is in satisfaction of the devise or that its value is to be deducted from the value of the devise.
(b)For purposes of partial satisfaction, property given during lifetime is valued as of the time the devisee came into possession or enjoyment of the property or at the testator's death, whichever occurs first.
(c)If the devisee fails to survive the testator, the gift is treated as a full or partial satisfaction of the devise, as appropriate, in applying §§ 29A-2-603 and 29A-2-604 , unless the testator's writing provides otherwise.
