Question

If Mr. Miller left his property to his sons named in his will, in which of the following situations could his property not be taken when he dies?

A. challenging the will
B. through escheat
C. a tax lien
D. condemnation

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. condemnation. Challenging the will, escheat, and a tax lien are situations where Mr. Miller's property could be taken when he dies.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is D. condemnation.

Condemnation refers to the process by which a government takes private property for public use. In this situation, if Mr. Miller's property is condemned by the government, it cannot be taken by his sons named in his will.

Challenging the will (A), escheat (B), and a tax lien (C) are all situations where Mr. Miller's property could be taken when he dies. Challenging the will involves contesting the validity of the will in court. Escheat occurs when there are no heirs or beneficiaries to inherit the property, and it reverts to the state. A tax lien is a claim by the government for unpaid taxes, which could result in the property being seized and sold to satisfy the debt.
