What the letter contains

Cover
The date, a document reference, the school of thought applied, the net distributable estate, the number of heirs and the automated review status, with a notice that the document is not a will.
Part 1 · Inheritance Distribution
The estate after funeral costs and debts, then each heir’s share as a fraction, a percentage and an amount, with the basis and source for every share.
Part 2 · Wasiyyah (Bequest Instructions)
The one-third limit for your estate and any bequests you recorded.
Part 3 · Letter of Instruction to the Solicitor
An estate summary, suggested wording for the Gift of Residue clause, the order in which the estate is settled, and notes for drafting.

The letter identifies each heir by relationship, not by name; your solicitor adds the names when drafting. It is an instruction to a solicitor, not a will, and it is not legal advice. All figures on this page are fictional.
