Re: Wills & trusts
That's a good question, and one the court may have to decide. "Contents" is usually taken to mean "furnishings", but if it's unclear after reading the will and any case law, and the vehicles are worth some money, AND the beneficiaries can't agree on the answer, the executor should file a "petition for instructions" with the court to get a clear answer.
