[WSBAPT] Lapse of specific bequest?

[jeremy at basalt.legal]

All,

 

I have a case where real property is the subject of a specific bequest in a
will. Prior to death, decedent signed a purchase and sale agreement, deed,
and all other documents necessary for closing and gave closing documents to
title company to hold in escrow. Closing occurred a few days after date of
death. Does anyone have thoughts on whether this bequest lapsed in this
scenario?

 

Very truly yours,
