You don't give a date, but presumably this is some while ago. I believe that present practice is that the legacy goes to the person intended, provided that this is reasonably well established. I have vague memories of case law where someone left a last-minute will which read something like "All to Mother". His wife successfully argued that he referred to her as Mother, and was awarded the estate.
