Will Draftsman's Handbook

This book provides material needed for drafting a will. As well as discussing the law related to drafting a will, with particular regard to the tax implications, it presents some 60 precedent clauses together with commmentary on their use. The appendices cover statutory provisions, and include three specimen wills which illustrate how the precedent clauses can be assembled. This edition has been updated to take account of the change in the legal status of illegitimacy under the Family Law Reform Act 1987, and the provisions of the Finance Acts of 1988-1990.
