Will on leased property

Amit (Querist) 04 May 2022 This query is : Resolved
A takes a property on lease for 99 years from the crown.

A makes a will that after his death his daughter B shall be the owner of the property and after the death of B, her son C and daughter in law D will own the property.

B makes a will that after her death C and D will be the owners of the property and after their death their two children will share the property in a particular ratio.

Also during this period D dies without a will and the lease expires. C gets the same renewed in his name and converts it to a free hold property. Then C dies without a will.

The renewed lease does mention the fact that it is being renewed.

Can B make a will for the property?
If B can make a will is it valid on renewal of lease ?

Quick Summary

This discussion examines the complexities of making a will for a property held on a 99-year lease. It questions whether a beneficiary can make a valid will for the property, particularly if the lease is renewed and converted to freehold during their lifetime. The consensus suggests that the original will remains valid for the lease term, limiting subsequent wills for the property during that period.

A’s Will will be valid for 99 years and till the enjoyment of the property by all those who have been mentioned in the will.

No other person can make a valid Will for the property during that period.
