The residuary estate is usually addressed in the residuary clause in the will. If the residuary estate is not addressed in the will then the residuary passes to the next-of-kin as intestate property according to the laws of intestacy. Distribution of an estate is governed by statute and not by any verbal agreements. A beneficiary can waive their rights to distribution but it must be done in writing and filed with the estate.
