Question

Char's daughter Delsey dies before Char, leaving Delsey's son Egor. On Char's death, it is learned that Char's will gives "to my daughter Delsey my ranch in Mesquite County, Texas." Most likely, the gift of the ranch abates. does not fail. lapses in full. lapses in part.

Answer 1

Answer:

Lapses in part.

Explanation:

I don't know all the variables of the laws of inheritance, but I understand that the correct answer is that it fails in part.

The reason is that if Delsey left her will to her daughter Delsey while she was alive, she would be the rightful heir, but in the event that she had already died, the rightful heir would be Delsey's son and Char's grandson, Egor.

So Char's desire to leave the ranch to her daughter is not fulfilled for obvious reasons, but it is fulfilled in part because her son (and char's grandson) is the rightful heir.
