4. Thomas Testator drafted a valid will when he was 30 years old and single in which he left all of his estate to his parents, and, if they predeceased him, to various charities. At 35, Thomas married Tawana and remained married to her until his death at the ripe old age of 100, with Tawana surviving him. He never changed his will, and at his death both parents had predeceased him.

A. Who gets his estate? Be specific.

B. Assume that soon after marrying, Thomas took out his will and crossed out the provision giving his property to his parents and replaced Tawana's name where it had previously read to the parents if they survived him, else to the named charities. What is the effect of this change?

C. What if Thomas has written VOID across each page of the will and initialed each page after doing so?
