If an individual inherits a house due to a Beneficiary Deed is that individual entitled to all personal items contained inside? The deceased did not have a will but the Grantee (Child of deceased) on the Beneficiary Deed is under the impression she now has inherited the house PLUS everything in the house (furniture, antiques, jewelry, etc.) including the deceased’s car. The Grantee believes the Beneficiary Deed grants her all of these items even though the deceased had other children. Is the Beneficiary Deed for the house (structure/land) only or does it also include any items inside house and / or kept on property?
