Title
Draft Will of Edward Mattocks (of Coventry, pawnbroker)
Date
1868
Description

The testator bequeaths household goods to his wife Harriett: the wife is empowered to continue his business with responsibility going to trustees if she die before his son Edward is of age or interested in the trade; the wife and son will use the testator's money for trade, paying £5% p.a. interest on the stock-in-trade to the trustees before so dividing the profits that she shall take two-thirds and he one-third; when Harriett dies or refuses to trade, the business will be valued by the trustees or son (he having three calendar months' purchase-option) or by their umpire; everything else will be invested for Harriett for life with remainder equally between the testator's children (and their issue) with right of survivorship; the trustee and wife may advance the testator's son Charles an unspecified sum to start him in business where he is of age, but no trustees or executors are named.
