Writing (gay and lesbian) wills
No full textThis article presents some of the findings of an empirical research project that explored writing wills for gay men and lesbians. The research aimed to examine the extent to which wills might contribute to sociological debates about alternative kinships and intimate citizenship. While the overarching aim of the project was an interest in the contents of the wills (which is to say the intentions of the testators), it also revealed the influence of the lawyers on the contents of the wills and the extent to which changes in legal practice in England have impacted on the place of will-drafting within the legal profession. Exploring this throws light on the extent to which wills express the authentic voice of a testator and raises questions about access to qualified will writers. Turning to the content of the wills, the place of ‘god children’ or children of friends’ is examined. While a very particular type of beneficiary, the focus provides a space for thinking more widely about the construction of the ‘inheritance families’ of gay men and lesbians

Hypermedia Information Systems in Industry
No full textThe requirements for industrial strength hypermedia are well known. If hypermedia applications are to be used successfully in the industrial environment, then considerable effort is required to integrate them into with the organisation’s current business practices. This implies that any proposed model must be simple to maintain and implement, as well as bringing real benefits to the organisation as a whole. This article discusses the development of such a system, its implementation and evaluation to support manufacturing operations at Pirelli Cables, Eastleigh
Wills
No full textThis chapter deals with applications relating to wills and testamentary instruments after probate has been granted. It is primarily concerned with applications for construction of such documents. Therefore considerations as to the validity of testamentary instruments and applications relating to family provision are dealt with elsewhere in this work. Wills often contain provisions relating to trusts. The law of trusts is also dealt with elsewhere in this work.
It will often occur that a valid will which has been admitted to probate will need to be construed. This may include an application to the court relating to the powers of the Executor or as to the nature of the interest which a beneficiary may take. Therefore this chapter contains a commentary on the law as it relates to the construction of wills
Aaron and Rachel Wills house
No full textAaron and Rachel Wills home, 1786, located on east side of Rancocas-Centerton Rd., Rancocas, near the Friends' grave yard. This house is on or very near the original site of pioneer John Wills house. Ancient latches and hardware are throughout this home. Windows have some of the original glass, now quite iridescent. On this property was located the second grist mill in this county, and two old mill stones are partially buried in the ruins of the old dam near the lane entrance. Buttonwood trees of great age thrive around the house. It is probable that a ferry was operated across the Rancocas Creek by John Wills at this place
Exploring the benefits and pitfalls of using mutual wills
No full text[The purpose of this article is to consider a peculiar type of will known in equity as a mutual will. The major focus is a consideration of the interplay of the legal effect of mutual wills and the practical use of such wills. It is hoped that this discussion will assist legal practitioners in identifying those clients who may benefit from executing mutual wills, identifying those clients who might intend to execute mutual wills, advising clients as to the pros and cons of mutual wills and the benefits of accompanying such wills with a deed or contract.

"For the salvation of my soul": women and wills in medieval and early modern France
No full textThis volume seeks to investigate the testamentary practices of women in medieval and early modern France, examining the experience of a cross-section of the population, from artisans to the elite, in Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, Marseille, Montpellier, La Rochelle, Brittany, and Burgundy. The making of a will was perhaps the single most prominent moment in women’s lives for the assertion of agency. Though constrained to some degree by customary practice and the increasing influence of Roman law, women demonstrated remarkable initiative in the formulation of their last wishes. Wills permitted women to reward friendship and loyalty, to designate universal heirs as major beneficiaries, to stipulate conditions of inheritance so that last wishes were carried out, and, perhaps most importantly, to make pious donations to the Church for the salvation of the testators’ souls. They chose their burial sites and arranged for funeral processions, and they endowed anniversary masses for their souls in perpetuity. Individual testamentary decisions differed, as did spousal strategies, but the reinforcement of family ties, even the assertion of relationship, was possible in wills.Introduction / Joëlle Rollo-Koster and

RLabs: A South African Perspective on a Community-driven Approach to Community Information
No full textStakeholders in a community project commonly include academics, businesses, and people from within the community. Community empowerment is a central motivation for community informatics; however it is debatable how the community is empowered and benefits from many community research projects. This paper presents a community-driven case study, Reconstructed Living Lab, identifying factors that aid or hinder community-driven technological innovations. The RLabs case study identifies the community as the main stakeholder and identifies the factors that aid or hinder community empowerment. The conclusion is that Living Labs is an appropriate and effective vehicle for community empowerment
