Hi,
I'm having a real meltdown with trust law. I have part of a problem question which says:
I appoint 'X' the director of wills.com to be the executor and trust of this my will:
1.) I give my freehold property and contents to my brother Peter and I request that on his death, he leaves that property and contents to my two nieces Jessica and Amiee, in equal shares in the full belief and hope that she will comply:
I've broken it down as the following:
Legal Issue:
Firstly - Is the client married or do they have children (constructive trusts). May contest will.
Then:
1.) A gift to brother Peter or a trust?
2.)Is property held on trust for nieces - legal obligation or just a moral obligation?
3.) Is there certainty of intention (Precatory words - Palmer v Simmonds and Re Golays Wills Trusts)
Thanks
A, x
