What happens to a deceased beneficiary's share of the estate if the Will does not specify?

First and foremost, do put an appropriate Google or Facebook review to the firm as most reputable firms should have catered (at least generally) for such an event.

Specifically for getArrange Wills, it depends on whether you have provided for a substitute beneficiary as well as what is selected in the Select Clauses page, whether it is "Still be given to him/her" or "Redistribute as Residual Assets".

As for the Wills for the Wills written by other firms, it ultimately depends on what is written in the Will. Do check with them directly as we are unable to comment on Wills not written by us.

In the absence of such a clause, this may also be dependent on the exact circumstances and other clauses worded within the Will.

Barring everything else, generally if a Will states to give someone a share of the estate, but that gift can't happen (either because the intended beneficiary dies before the testator, or because the gift is illegal or impossible), then that share of the estate will go to whoever is named to receive the remaining property in the residuary clause of the will — unless the Will specifically say otherwise.

If that is not possible, that share of the estate could also possibly result in partial intestacy (e.g. be distributed according to Singapore's Intestate Succession Act).
