Thank you so very much Rosie99, Annie5115, horsleydown86, Bookbox, Alexander and phillipsearching again for your advice and input.

Your persistence and effort are most gratefully welcomed. My husband is going to try and play around with the document to make it more readable hopefully. But in the meantime I am most happy with all your efforts to date.

Regards

It could be an idea to post it a bit at a time, this makes it easier to see where in the document you are.  Also it means we are all concentrating on a bit at a time.

Anyway as we suggested give it a try yourself and leave us the gaps to sort out.     We have probably all been faced with a will written like this and it does appear daunting to start with but it does get easier with time. A lot of the jargon is repeated so you get used to it after a while.

Thank you all. I have taken the advice on board and have broken the Will into five parts. Again thank you for all your efforts. Hope this will be easier. I have split this into 5 parts even though the earlier parts have been deciphered. i feel it is best to have it in its entirety.

Here is Part 1 of 5
