House and House contents

10 Posts


My father left his house to my sister and myself in his will.
I have been told by the executor that it just stated the property and there was no mention of the contents. I assumed the contents automatically came with the property, but I have been told anything that is sold from the contents needs to go into the "pot" for the funds distributed amongst all 7 beneficiary's. Is this correct?

This seems a very poorly drawn up will, had his house had to be sold before his death you would have lost much of your inheritance unless you and your sister were the only residual beneficiaries.
It would seem it is correct then. We auctioned a lot of the contents. After costs, there wasn't a lot left over to be honest. Thanks anyway people. 😀
