Who’s Who: Mistaken and Missing Identities in Wills

In this sessions James Davies delivers the next webinar in our series. Brought to you from the expertise of our Trust, Wills & Estates Practice.

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

This webinar considers: 

• 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.
