Confused about wording on will

[Mrs Ed Gein]

I give all personal chattels in my property or any leasehold property I own as my principal residence at the date of my death to my sister ..........(me). I give general power of appointment to my Trustees to sell or convert into money such property which is referred to in Will. I am not entitled to any share on the sale of this property as I am not a Trustee. Why does is say 'I leave my principal residence to my sister (which is me) when not true. Can anyone shed any light on this?

You need to seek assistance on the will as a whole, and not a few words plucked out of their setting.

I think you should not waste much time. Visit any will lawyer and discuss with him all queries.

[sederunt]

If the will says that you will inherit the house, then why do you consider that you may not inherit the house?

[Hagalout]

Does it not maybe mean just the chattels in the properties, if he perhaps owns more than one property?

[charitynjw]

"The essence of a trust of land is that the formal title to the land (the ‘legal estate’) is separated from the underlying ownership (the ‘equitable interest’ or ‘beneficial interest’)."

But we are asked to look at a couple of lines, plucked out of the context of the will as a whole, and particularly the operative provisions regarding property.

I bet that since the OP's first and only post 4 weeks ago she has been able to resolve her quandary.
