Specific bequest of property in a Will
If client has specific
bequests, these should be listed in the Will. Recommend against the client
writing notes on a piece of scrap paper and attaching to Will. Specific bequests are sometimes jewelry that
mom wants to go to a particular daughter or granddaughter. Men sometimes have
their valuable baseball cards, coins, etc. Unless the car is a classic,
typically just say “any cars”. If the Will does not provide for specific
bequests, either the children will work out who gets personal property, or the
executor will just have the personal property sold. There is usually no value
to furniture and personal property beyond garage sale value.
