Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In this scenario, Tammy's will executed in 2014 will be considered as the valid will. Even though Ruth did not explicitly revoke the 2012 will, the later will naming Tammy as the sole beneficiary will supersede the earlier will. Therefore, Tammy will be the sole beneficiary of Ruth's estate.
