Wobble - some years ago, a very wealthy single brother died and left his entire estate (property etc) to our local Kingdom Hall, which he had attended. Members reckon they don't now have to scrimp if they need new curtains - they can just go out and purchase them without worry!! (what a blessing, lol). I find it hard to believe the local congregation to which the money was left actually has it or has benefitted in any way (nothing significant has been done to this KH since his death)
IF money is left this way, it would then become theirs, and they have a right to dispose of it as they seem fit. Is there any stipulation (from the Society) that in such cases they have to turn it over to the WTBTS?
