FAQ
The law makes a clear distinction between real property and personal property. Real property is immovable. It includes the land, everything that is permanently attached to it, and the rights that "run with" the land. Personal property, on the other hand, is movable.
Possessions which can be easily moved and are not fixed in a permanent location, such as furniture, clothing, jewelry, books, and other personal items are not considered real property; instead, these items are classified as personal property.
Ensures comprehensive distribution: Without a residuary clause, any assets not specifically named in the will could be distributed ing to state intestacy laws, which might not reflect your preferences.

Most real estate contracts have a clause which specifies what personal property is included in or excluded from the sale. Sellers and buyers often forget to specify certain items, which leads to arguments at closing.
Examples of Residuary Clause Wording “I give, devise, and bequeath all the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, real and personal, of whatever nature and wherever situated, to Name of Beneficiary, if they survive me.
Devise: A gift of real estate in your will is called a “devise,” not a bequest. For example, you would include a devise in your will to transfer ownership of your house to someone else.
To make a bequest, leave written instructions behind, typically in a will. A probate court may need to validate your will for the assets to transfer to their new owner. Assets such as life insurance policies, retirement accounts and trusts have pre-established beneficiaries and can be transferred outside probate court.
The following are some of the most common assets with beneficiary designations, and therefore, such assets should not be included in your will: Retirement accounts, IRAs, 401(k)s, and pensions. Life insurance or annuity proceeds. Payable-on-death bank accounts.
