Separate property is property owned before marriage, or acquired during marriage with separate property funds, or acquired by gift, will or inheritance if one partner was named as the beneficiary.

The list must be 1) titled, 2) signed, 3) dated, 4) describe property and beneficiaries with reasonable certainty and 5) the list must refer to the will which it relates."
18
+ Lapse,A gift lapses if a beneficiary predeceases the testator unless it is saved by the anti-lapse statute or a residuary clause.
19
+ Anti-Lapse statute,Anti-lapse statute requires 1) predeceasing beneficiary to be a relative of the testator and 2) predeceasing beneficiary left descendants who survived the testator.
20
+ Lapse in Residuary Clause,"If the residuary estate is devised to two or more persons and the gift to one of them fails for any reason, the surviving residuary devises take the entire residuary estate in proportion to their interests in the residue. However, if the gift could have been subject to the anti-lapse statute, the anti-lapse statute trumps."
21
+ Simultaneous Death,"When passage of title to property depends on priority of death, and there’s insufficient evidence to determine which person (testator and beneficiary) died otherwise that simultaneously. With wills, it is presumed the beneficiary predeceased the testator."
22
+ Abatement,"If assets are insufficient to cover the testator’s debts, debts and administration expenses are first paid out of intestate property, then residuary assets, then general and demonstrative legacies, then specific requests."
23
+ Ademption,"Ademption determines what happens when property bequeathed under a will is no longer in the testators estate at the time of death. Usually the gift fails, however if the beneficiary was to receive a specific bequest that was sold by the estate, the beneficiary is entitled to remaining sale proceeds."
24
+ Latent Ambiguities,To fix a latent ambiguity a contestant may introduce extrinsic evidence.
25
+ Pretermitted,Execution before an event. Such as a pretermitted spouse or child. A pretermitted person gets an intestate share unless the will specifically omits that person.
