IN a ruling with significant implications for inheritance law, the Privy Council has upheld the will of a Tunapuna man who left his entire estate to a religious charity, effectively disinheriting his children.
The decision, handed down on Thursday in London, England, dismisses an appeal brought by the deceased’s daughter, Aneisa Graham, who had challenged the validity of the will.
Carl Cox, who passed away on December 23, 2012, had executed his will on January 6, 2009. In it, he named Gregory Pascall as his executor and designated the Eternal Light Community of Tunapuna, a religious charity affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church, as the sole beneficiary of his estate.
