Reed Watkins made and executed a valid will in which he left all of his property to his son and daughter. They failed to visit him or call. When Reed's neighbor was visiting one day, Reed got the will out and said, "I don't want them to get a dime. You see this? I am destroying this will." Reed then threw the will into his wooden stove and the two watched the will burn. Suppose that a court finds that the will was revoked and that Reed died intestate. Under the Uniform Probate Code, who would inherit his estate? Reed has no living relatives other than his son and daughter.
A) The estate would escheat to the state.
B) The son and daughter would each get one-half of the estate.
C) The son and daughter cannot inherit anything because Reed told his neighbor he did not want them to have anything.
D) The neighbor would get the estate because Reed made his intentions clear that anyone other than his son and daughter should get his property.
