Residuary Estate Clause drafting

Good morning All

A client of ours has recently instructed us to leave 10% of her estate to charity and 90% is to go to her relative. However, we want to put in a clause that says that if the relative cannot benefit from the remaining 90% of the residue then the relative can be gifted £50,000.

Vice-versa. If the relative cannot be gifted the £50,000 then the relative can be gifted 90% of the residue.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Francesca

I think you might need to clarify what you mean by “cannot benefit”. Do you mean if there is no residue?
