The following two clauses appear (inter alia) in the will of the late X: In clause 3 of his will: 'I bequeath my house to my cousin A' and then stating in clause 5 of the same will: 'I bequeath my house to my cousin B'. X is survived by his two cousins A and B. X is also survived by his spouse, Y. Who will inherit the house from X?
Based on the information provided, it seems that the will of the late X contradicts itself regarding the bequest of the house to his two cousins, A and B. This situation may create confusion and ambiguity in determining the intended beneficiary. In such cases, it is essential to seek legal advice and consult with professionals specializing in wills and estates to interpret and resolve the conflicting clauses. The laws and regulations regarding wills may vary depending on the jurisdiction, so it is advisable to consult a legal expert familiar with the applicable laws in the relevant jurisdiction.
