Writing a will

[Ford]

1) should be ok?

joint tenants in equity? if so, may pass to other joint tenant first independently of will re survivorship?

executor?

technically, maybe no full name/address/date required?. but, for avoidance of doubt (ie presumption of execution) should include name/address etc re traceability. see wills act s9, and see murrin v matthews 06 re presumption/execution, and need for traceability re execution. particularly, if a will is contested.

 

ps - again for avoidance of doubt, a persons most recent will should include statement revoking all former wills, unless is an amendment/codicil.

 

for avoidance of doubt , suggest father gets independent will advice.

as sole beneficiary, you writing/advising the will may be contentious!

for avoidance of doubt suggest father gets independent advice, partic'y as previous will included brother.
