Introduction
The facts of the case study present that, Alvin Tan (AT) made a will in 2002, and suffered death
in 2010. The description of the Will so made states that, AT appointed two of his friends
Matthew Tanner (MT) and Ravi Sindar (RS) as executors and testators and gave them S$ 5,000
each. Furthermore, AT also provided for his godson and goddaughter Simon Temper (ST) and
Tania Temper (TT), a sum of S$ 10,000 and S$ 5000 respectively, on condition that TT reaches
her adulthood that is she attains majority while receiving the said sum. Again, the will by AT
makes it clear that ST’s provision was to be paid in a mentioned bank account. The remaining of
the estate AT owned was disposed off to his brother Elvis Tan (ET).
