Before distributing residue, Amy Dale wants her executors to pay her funeral, testamentary and administration expenses, enforceable debts and pecuniary legacies from her estate. Draft one payment direction; no tax-specific instruction is supplied.
After the payments directed elsewhere in his will, Felix Dunn gives the entire residue of his estate to his adult daughter, Zoe Dunn, absolutely. Draft the residuary gift.
Kiran Holt gives one quarter of residue to Alba Holt and three quarters to Miles Holt, both adults. Draft one clause that expresses the two fractions unambiguously and exhausts the residue.
Clause 4 of Susan Pike's will gives £40,000 to Joel Pike free of inheritance tax. Susan instructs that any inheritance tax attributable to that gift is to be paid from her residuary estate. Draft only the burden direction.
A draft residuary clause gives 55% to Aiden Moss and 35% to Cara Moss, with no other residuary gift. The client intends Aiden and Cara to take in those relative proportions but wants no partial intestacy. Diagnose the defect and redraft their shares as fractions of the whole residue preserving the 55:35 ratio.
Nadia Brook directs payment of her funeral and administration expenses, enforceable debts and legacies. A separate clause gives £10,000 to Mo Brook free of inheritance tax, which Nadia wants borne by residue. She gives one half of residue to Sam Brook and one half to the fictional charity Green Door Centre, registered charity number 1178810. Draft only the payment, tax-burden and residuary provisions.
