Q&As

An individual has died leaving a homemade Will, which has been signed and witnessed by two neighbours. In the Will, the deceased appointed his two daughters as executors and trustees. By the heading ‘SPECIFIC GIFTS AND LEGACIES’, the Will contains the following words: ‘I give my daughter XX 25% and my daughter XX 25% and monies left over. And the remainder. The other 50% to be shared between my six grandchildren. I expect the property to be sold off’. In the Will there is a section titled ‘Residuary gift’ and this has been left blank. How should the Will be interpreted as to the distribution of the estate? Whose advice should be sought? Could a court application be made or agreement from the beneficiaries be sought to decide about distribution?

In an unopposed lease renewal under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, improvements carried out by the tenant are to be disregarded when establishing the rent. Would improvements carried out under an agreement for lease but prior to the actual commencement of the lease amount to improvements carried out 'during the current tenancy' and thus fall to be disregarded (assuming they were carried out by the tenant and not pursuant to an obligation to the landlord)?
