The article seems to suggest that this is a bad thing. But what's the alternative? That it just gets soaked up by the bank or the state or whatever happens when there's no will? Better it go to a person even semi by mistake like in this case in my opinion

People updating their wills is the good alternative they're advocating.

Maybe he did consider this before he died and was happy with it? Anything beyond the black and white is wild speculation.

That might not avoid the problem here. Wills can be overridden by documents such as the one in the article.
