Harriet Moss will sign her will in the presence of two independent adult witnesses, Daniel Reed and Amira Holt. Both witnesses will be present together and will each sign while Harriet can see them. Draft one attestation paragraph recording that ceremony.
Leo Marsh cannot sign or make a mark. At Leo's express direction and in his presence, Sara Webb will sign Leo's name while the independent adult witnesses Jai Patel and Erin Ford are present together; Leo intends that signature to give effect to the will. Draft one attestation paragraph for that ceremony.
Caleb Dunn signed his will earlier in private. At a later meeting he will acknowledge that existing signature in the simultaneous presence of two independent adult witnesses, Mei Lin and Thomas Grant, who will each sign in Caleb's presence. Draft one attestation paragraph reflecting acknowledgment rather than a fresh signature.
Nadia Cole's will gives £15,000 to her brother Omar Cole. Omar Cole and Tara Singh are named as the two witnesses. Diagnose the document risk created by Omar's attestation and draft a one-sentence execution instruction that avoids it without changing Nadia's gift.
The draft says: “Signed by the testator in our presence. Witnessed by Alex Green and Jo Page.” In fact, Alex and Jo watched the testator sign at different times, and neither signed while the testator was present. Explain why the paragraph cannot cure those events and draft a compliant instruction for re-execution with two new independent witnesses.
Edmund Price can sign his name, but his proposed witness Priya Price is his adult daughter and receives £20,000 under the will. Draft (i) a short instruction replacing Priya with an independent witness and (ii) a clean standard attestation paragraph for Edmund to execute later with the independent adult witnesses Nora Bell and Faisal Khan, both present together.
