Upon Wendy's death, who should Lot 1 be distributed to?

In the context of distribution after Wendy's death, the scenario often revolves around how property is treated under joint wills and the intentions expressed in that will. If Wendy’s will designates that Lot 1 is to be distributed solely to Milly, this provision typically takes precedence over any equal distribution or other claims, assuming the will’s intentions are clear.

In many estate situations, the clear articulation of an individual beneficiary indicates the decedent's intent. Thus, if Lot 1’s distribution to Milly is explicitly stated in Wendy's will, this is upheld despite any considerations for equal distribution to West or potential implications about joint wills being revoked. Joint wills, while they might complicate the situation when one party dies, do not negate the intent expressed for the distribution of specific assets unless there’s clear evidence that such a revocation or amendment has occurred.

Therefore, if Milly is the designated beneficiary of Lot 1 in Wendy's will, all of Lot 1 should indeed be distributed to her, reflecting Wendy’s specific wishes regarding that asset. This principle reinforces the importance of adhering to the expressed intentions within the will, highlighting how vital clear language in testamentary documents is for ensuring the wishes of the deceased are honored.
