Will with Legacies for Children

1. I hereby appoint CD of, etc., and EF of, etc., as the executors of my this will,
trustees of my estate and also the guardians of the person and property of my minor
children, GH and IJ, during the respective periods of their minority. In case any one of
the executors fails to obtain probate or act as trustee and guardian, the other shall act as
the sole executor, trustee and guardian.
2. I direct my said executors or executor and trustees or trustee to pay out of my estate
a sum of Rs. 1 lakh to X and a further sum of Rs.1 lakh to Y for their absolute use and
benefit and I hereby give, leave and bequeath the same unto and in their favour
absolutely. It is my further wish and desire that a sum of Rupees 1 lakh should be paid for
the expenses of the marriage of MN of, etc., should I not celebrate his or her marriage
during my lifetime and I direct my said executors or executor and trustees or trustee to
pay the same accordingly on the occasion of his or her marriage.
3. Subject to what are hereinbefore stated, my said executors or executor and trustees
or trustee shall, after defraying the costs, charges and expenses of administration, hold
and possess the entire estate, both movable and immovable, in trust for my children for
their maintenance and support until the youngest of them shall attain the age of 21 years.
4. My said executors or executor and trustees or trustee shall be entitled to convert the
movables only into money which should be invested in the purchase of Government
securities or trustees securities or in loans against the first mortgage of houses and lands
or in any other good and sound investments with power to draw interest, dividends, etc.
to alter and vary the same at their discretion such investment or investments into other
investment or investments of the same or like nature, to be held upon trust as aforesaid.
5. My said executors or executor and trustees or trustee shall look after, manage and
keep and maintain in good repair and develop all my properties, and realise the rents,
profits and other income thereof.
6. I further direct that my said executors or executor and trustees or trustee shall after
paying all my just debts, testamentary and other expenses and the legacies hereinbefore
recited, and, after providing for the costs, charges and expenses of the management and
development of the said properties and for payment of the revenue and taxes spend the
surplus of the income for all the necessary expenses for maintenance and education of my
said children during their minority and on my last child attaining the age 21 years shall
divide the remaining property equally among all my children, when and in such an event
the trust hereunder created shall come to an end.
Provided, however, they shall keep and maintain proper account of the estate and file
the same in court once in every six months and get the same audited and passed.
Provided, however, further that in the event of acquisition or compulsory purchase of
any property, the said executors and trustees shall invest the proceeds in purchase of
some other suitable property or properties to be also held by them in trust as aforesaid.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set and subscribed my hand and signature this
day of 1999.
