Aron Owns Several Shares of Stock with Beth, His Sister

Essay

Aron owns several shares of stock with Beth, his sister, and an apartment building with Carl, his brother, in both cases as owners with rights of survivorship. Aron is a partner with Debra in Aron & Debra Accountants, and obtains a life insurance policy with Debra as the designated beneficiary. Aron writes a will that gives particular items of personal property, as well as specific amounts of cash, to his children and his friends. The will leaves the residue of the estate to Eve, Aron's favorite cousin. After Aron writes his will, Carl dies but Aron does not revise his will. Aron, on his deathbed, makes a gift to the United Way. Will the stock, the apartment building, the proceeds from the life insurance policy, and the gift to the United Way become part of Aron's estate and be distributed under the will? If not, how will these items be distributed and to whom?
