Estate of Newsome

In Estate of Newsome (1967) 248 Cal.App.2d 712, certain real property was devised to the testator's wife and other real property devised to his daughter. He then sold one of the parcels of real property which had been devised to the wife. At time of death, the proceeds were in a savings account. \ The court held that there was no ademption because there was no residuary clause in the will, evidencing an intent by the testator to dispose of all of his estate through the specified devises and bequests and not to cause any thereof to fail by his voluntary transmutation of the property.
