Who’s Who: Mistaken and Missing Identities in Wills

Join James Davies as he delivers the next webinar from our Trust, Wills & Estates Practice.

In this session, James will be looking at the problems and solutions which arise when beneficiaries under a will are unclear, cannot be traced, or have ceased to exist. James will also consider the particular issues which arise in the case of unincorporated associations and charities, and the use of cy-près doctrine.

This webinar will consider: 

• The role of interpretation in resolving questions of identity.
• Practical steps to be taken to resolve uncertainties.
• Particular issues which arise in the context of charities and entities which have ceased to exist.
• What applications can be made to court and how they should be framed.
• Alternatives to court applications.
