A has property at Benares and in other places. He bequeaths to B "all his property at Benares". How is this legacy classified?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Illustration (iii) to section 142 holds that "The legacy is specific". The property at Benares is a specified part of A's estate, distinguished from his property elsewhere. It is not residuary, because it is not what remains after other gifts.
