Practice question

A will expressly includes property acquired later. The testator then validly acquires another asset before death. No other defect or limitation applies. Is later acquisition alone a categorical exclusion?
  1. Yes; later assets can never pass through any will.
  2. Only the executor personally receives every later asset.
  3. The asset automatically becomes public land.
  4. No;793 recognizes the expressly intended after-acquired treatment.
  5. Only a separate marriage settlement may dispose of it.
