The widow of the testator was left a life interest in a property and 25% of income from a trust established by the Will in the following terms: ‘If I shall still own the property...at the date of my death I direct that my Executors...’. The property was subsequently sold, and an alternative matrimonial home purchased, but the Will clause was not amended. The new property is not referred to in the Will and has fallen into residue which makes no provision for the widow. Other than a deed of variation, is any other option available to remedy this situation?
