The Common Room / Help understanding a will please
« on: Friday 23 March 12 19:23 GMT (UK) »
Well it's not even a will as the person died intestate! Anyway it's from 1928, it says......!administration of the estate which by law devolves..... etc....then it has his eldest daughters name and address saying lawful daughter and one of the persons entitled to share in the estate!....
My question is why does it not mention other children, 3 other daughters? Does it mean the only one mentioned got it all? Or she was to divide it?Yet on the side of the document it says:
"Sureties: then the name of another daughter(spinster) and a man (who she married that same year) both of the same address and that he is a greengrocer... that is the only details mentioned.
Am unclear as to what this means, did they lend money of the estate, yet she is not mentioned?
As you can see I am not very legal minded
Actually the amount was £163 19s 6d, quite a bit in 1928, yet he didn't make a will, plus he also resides in a Rowton House for at least 4 years untill he died.
