Question

Because of all the trauma associated with his failed marriage and stress over the lawsuits that Chee had filed against him, Scott died of a heart attack one day on his way to work. The only Will he had was made on the eve of his 21st birthday when he was still dating Chee. According to that Will, Scott bequeath 100% of his estate to Chee. Scott's brother, Scrooge, was appointed as the sole executor of the Will. Both Scrooge and Chee signed as witnesses to the Will.

1. Outline and explain all the irregularities that can invalidate this Will.

2. If this Will is invalid, explain whether and how much of Scott's estate Scrooge is entitled to, if their father, Chee and Paul are alive.

3. Will your answer in (b) be different if Scott did not die from a heart attack but in a car crash while driving Paul home to Chee after a father-and-son trip to the zoo. Both Scott and Paul died in the crash when the car burst into flames. Explain your answer.

4. Among Scott's estate are (i) his HDB flat which is still held in joint tenancy with Chee; (ii) his CPF funds where he nominated his father as beneficiary before his wedding day; and (iii) his joint DBS bank account with Scrooge. Apply the relevant legal principles to determine how these assets should be distributed.
