What is in this drill
Scope: FLK2, Chapter 12: Trusts
A sample question
Zena's will leaves her estate "to my husband, and on his death the bulk of what he holds is to go to my nephews". Her husband has now died. The nephews claim the bulk of his estate on trust. What is the position?
- The nephews take the whole estate, as "the bulk" means all of it
- The nephews take more than half, as "the bulk" means a majority
- The court will fix a fair share for the nephews
- The trust fails for uncertain subject matter; the husband took absolutely
- The estate is held on resulting trust for Zena's estate
