[WSBAPT] Help - Personal Property Letters

[Eden Rubenstein Toner]

I've never had to litigate it, but my understanding is that it would fail
for lack of specificity.

Hello Team Listserv,

 

If a decedent left a Will and referenced a personal property letter and the
letter then said "all personal property" to Susie Smith and did not list any
specific items - again just says "all".  

 

RCW states (c) the writing describes the items and the recipients of the
property with reasonable certainty.

 

Would you say the "all" language complies or fails with "reasonable
certainty"

 

Thanks so much
