Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania

Despite what you see in the movies or TV will aren't read in some sort of meeting.

What you're describing is a lapse that is the person who was named in a will as a beneficiary dies before the person making the will. Happens a lot. Sometimes the testator will name a backup beneficiary or the will may state that the property becomes part of the residual.

So it depend on the language of the will.
