Further, there is no reason why a legatee cannot effectively renounce his entitlement to shares without executing a deed. |
The duty owed by the solicitors to the specific legatees is not a duty to take care to ensure that the specific legatee receives his legacy. |
In addition, by his will, Salvador DalĂ established the Spanish State as sole legatee over his intellectual property rights. |
The legacy is therefore perfectly valid, even though the granting clause contains no real legatee. |
In fact, it was the assignee of the legatee, but the difference is immaterial. |
The property in such cases passes to the heir or the legatee who receives the succession. |
