TSEM6059 - Legal background to trusts and estates: the three forms of specific bequests

There are three forms of specific bequests.

Specific legacy

The gift is a definite thing that is clearly identified. It may, for example, be 바카라 사이트˜my horse Ringmaster바카라 사이트™.

General legacy

The legacy is not confined to one particular thing. It is often money, although 바카라 사이트˜the £100 in a tin box under my bed바카라 사이트™ would be a specific legacy.

Demonstrative legacy

The legacy specifically refers to the source from which it is to be paid. This could be 바카라 사이트˜Â£500 from my building society account바카라 사이트™.

The executors need to know the type of bequest to carry out their duties properly.
