<p class="MsoNormal">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?<o:p></o:p></p>
