AND IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF THE LATE JUSTINE ANNE GARALDINE TREMLETT (NEE HARRIS)
The Representors, who are the two children of the late Justine Anne Geraldine Tremlett (née Harris) who died on the 1 st August 2019 ("the Deceased"), applied for an order that the Registrar admit to probate the will of the Deceased dated 2 nd April 2019 ("the 2019 Will").
The Deceased died domiciled and resident in England. The death certificate shows that she was born in the Republic of Ireland on 12 th May 1951, which would have constituted her domicile of origin. It would seem that some time after 2016, she moved to Coventry in England, where she acquired a domicile of choice.
The 2019 Will was admitted to probate in the High Court of Justice, England and Wales, Brighton District Probate Registry on 26 th June 2020. In addition to assets in England, the Deceased also left assets in Ireland and in Jersey, where there are a number of bank accounts and bonds.
The problem arises in this way. The Deceased executed an earlier will when living in Ireland, dated 20 th December 2016 ("the 2016 Will") revoking all previous wills. The 2016 Will extended to her world-wide estate, and in it, she left each of her grandchildren a cash sum equivalent to the maximum threshold that is free from any charge to tax, and the residue to the Representors in equal shares.
