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?

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
