Someone passes away and has a will, leaving the house and contents to one person, and the remainder of the estate to someone else. If there is a sizeable but not huge ( about 500 euro ) amount of cash in a small safe in the house when the deceased passes away, which of the beneficiaries should expect it in due course ? I would have thought it would be the person who was left the remainder of the estate ( along with a savings a/c, current a/c, car , dog etc ) rather than the person who was left house + contents ? Its not mentioned specifically in the will who eventually gets the cash in the safe.
Thanks in advance for any replies, someone may have come across something like this before
