If the priest was a member of a religious order, such as the Franciscans, who take a vow of poverty so own nothing themselves, what few things they might have - clothing, books, rosary, etc. will go to the order when they pass on. A diocesan priest makes no such vow and his property is distributed as specified in his will.
