There are times when executors come across clauses in Wills which are vague or which could be interpreted in more than one way. It is of course very important that these issues are resolved correctly to ensure that the Willmaker’s wishes are carried out.
It is also important because these types of issues can have major consequences for the beneficiaries, and could expose the executor to personal liability. Any time an executor has a concern about how to interpret a clause of a Will, legal advice should be sought.
