Quick Summary

This discussion addresses a complex will execution scenario where a testator executed multiple wills, missing a property in the final one. The final will explicitly cancelled all previous wills. The core question is how the property, mentioned in an earlier will but omitted from the last, will be distributed. The consensus is that properties not explicitly mentioned in the final, valid will are typically divided among all legal heirs. However, the mention of the property in a previous, now invalidated will, adds a layer of complexity.

The property which was not mentioned in the will shall be divided among all the legal heirs. But the previous Will is not valid as a new Will was executed.
