I'm very sorry to say that Bob Cratchit very likely stuck with Scrooge out of a sense of loyalty and goodwill to him. Which was ultimately rewarded in the story, after Scrooge's change of heart.

We don't actually know if this is true but it seems in character for Scrooge to go out of his way to keep Fred from inheriting, considering that he not only dislikes him but morally disapproves of what he thinks of as his spendthrift ways

I’m curious - who/what would Scrooge leave his estate to?

It’s been long enough that I’ve forgotten who Fred is. I thought this was part of some kind of Scooby Doo mashup. “Old Man Marly faked his own death! Now he’s trying to get the board of directors to declare Scrooge incompetent with this wild ghost story!”
