b) Years ago, Ash inherited some shares from his grandfather.
The shares are held on trust for him by Shami. Ash wants to
give Delilah some of his shares. Ash sends the following email
to Shami: ‘Please give my shares to Delilah.’ Shami fills in a
stock transfer form and sends it, together with the share
certificates, to the company registrar. Shami is still the
registered owner of the shares at the time of Ash's death.
c) Ash is walking to a lecture with his friend Estella when he is
knocked down by a car. Ash hands Estella his mobile phone
and says: ‘I don’t have much time. Look after this for me. If I
don’t make it, keep it. The code to unlock it is 5830.’ Ash dies
shortly afterwards.
