Question 2369) - Does ownership transfer with acceptance?

A: The one for whom the bequest was made assumes ownership upon acceptance, except in one scenario. If the one making the bequest dies and the one for whom the bequest was made dies before acceptance, the bequest is immediately transferred to the ownership of the beneficiary's heirs.
