[WSBAPT] Does specific gift of firearms include ammo?

[Timothy Lehr]

All,

I have an interesting question that I have not yet researched -

Decedent's Will has specific gift of "all firearms" to Beneficiary A. Residuary is split equally between beneficiary A and B. Decedent is ex-military and the estate inventory of firearms is very extensive. There is also a significant amount of ammunition. A & B are not on good terms and, of course, disagree on where the ammunition goes. And today, ammunition is worth a good amount of money.

Question - is there any case law that discusses whether a specific gift of "firearms" would include the corresponding  "ammunition"? Or any similar case law that discusses specific gifts and items that may or may not go with such items?

Thanks,

Timothy C. Lehr
