Charlene drafted a will in 2008 stating as follows: I hereby leave my 80-acre farm to Arthur, my pure-bred golden retriever to Brian, and 20,000 each to Dana and Ellen. In 2011, Charlene sold her farm and in 2014 her dog died. Charlene died in 2017 without having changed her will and with 15,000 in the bank. If there are no administrative costs or bills to be paid by the estate, what amount will Arthur, Brian, Dana, and Ellen receive under the will?

Question 2

Bill has a right against Heather and assigns it for 100 to Dan. Later, Bill grants Heather a release. Bill:
 A) is liable to Dan for damages because he breached an implied warranty.
  B) has no liability to Dan because he did not expressly warrant that he would not impair the assignment.
  C) has no liability to Dan because the only implied warranty he made was that the assigned right actually existed at the time of the assignment.
  D) was acting contrary to public policy by assigning a contractual right for money.

Answer to Question 1

When a will makes a specific bequest of property and the property is no longer in the estate of the decedent, the property is said to have been adeemed. The farm and the dog have been adeemed, so that under the general rule, Arthur and Brian will get nothing. Dana and Ellen will split the 15,000 cash, which has abated or been reduced from the original amount at the time of the execution of the will.

Answer to Question 2

A
