On Monday morning, Mr. Chen came to the office of Mr. White's firm as scheduled. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to White himself, there was another tall and thin lawyer, who White had hired as the second witness to Chen Yang's will.

As soon as the other party saw Chen Yang's arrival, he immediately greeted him happily in broken Chinese: "Che (Chen), so that you don't owe it (long time no see), how are you?"

Chen Yang smiled and stretched out his hand to shake the other party, and then teased: "Lawyer Black, your Chinese level needs to be improved, have you considered going to my country to live for a period of time to ensure that your Chinese level improves by leaps and bounds." ”

"Haha, when I have some free time, I will definitely go! When the time comes, you will be the master, remember to wear shoes to welcome me!" The other party smiled heartily, not thinking that there was anything strange about the translation of "upside down" into English.

This Black, who was the second witness hired by White, was a lawyer affiliated with another law firm and was a good friend of White. The last time Chen Yang made a will, he was also present as the second witness lawyer, so he also knew Chen Yang.

Blake is a fan of China, and has a strong interest in traditional Chinese culture, folk art, and even Chinese language and literature, but he doesn't seem to have the talent to learn the language.

Chen Yang had only met Blake once two years ago, but he was very impressed by him, so he called out Blake's name. In addition to the reason why Blake himself is an international friend who has a deep affection for our country, more importantly, his name and White's name are so compatible that Chen Yang can't help but remember it. One is White (White), the other is Black (Black), one black and one white, black and white, crunchy, perfect match!

Blake was also very happy that Chen Yang could remember himself. After the three people present exchanged pleasantries, they began to enter the process of signing a will. White explained the changes to the will, and handed over the written materials to Chen Yang to read and confirm carefully, and Chen Yang, White and Blake signed their names in turn, and the change was considered valid.

After White sealed the signed will, Chen Yang looked at the time, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning. He smiled apologetically at White and Blake: "Unfortunately, I have something to do to go to Manchester today, so I can't invite you two to lunch." When I'm done going back to London, I'll make amends to the two of you. ”

Blake shrugged unhesitantly, and White responded, "Go ahead and get your hands dirty, don't be so polite, Blake and I are just on business." If you have time, you might as well think about what I told you before. ”

Chen Yang knew that White was still concerned about the affairs of the "Dream of Discovery" group, but he didn't want to mention it for the time being, so he just smiled and didn't reply.

Seeing that the matter of amending the will had been completed, Chen Yang politely said goodbye to the two and left the law firm and boarded the train to Liverpool.

In fact, Chen Yang is not unmindful of the problems mentioned by White, on the contrary, he has been thinking about the belonging of the "Dream of Searching" group.

Under English law, a will on immovable property needs to be made "where the thing is located". In other words, as a group company, the inheritance of its immovable property in the UK needs to be made in the UK to be valid.

As with domestic law, there is a sequential heir in English succession law. In the event of the death of the owner of the property, the estate shall be sold by the executor or administrator of the estate in trust, and if there is any surplus after the debts have been paid, the executor shall distribute the estate among certain close relatives of the deceased in the following order according to the law: 1. the surviving spouse, 2. the surviving children, 3. the surviving parents, and 4. the surviving other relatives. If the deceased did not make a will and there were no relatives in the above four orders after death, the estate was vested in the monarch as unclaimed property.

Chen Yang's grandparents in China have died, and his parents died unexpectedly four years ago, so legally speaking, he has no living relatives who are still related by blood. And Chen Yang himself is not married and has children, if he does not make a will, according to British law, if Chen Yang has an accident, then the "Xunzhimeng" group belonging to his name will be owned by the British monarch.

Since he has made a will about movable property, Chen Yang has not considered the issue of real estate, but his heart has always been very entangled.

If you don't make a will, if you have an accident, then the "Dream of Searching" group will be renamed to the British monarch, and Chen Yang will definitely not want to see this result.

But when it comes to making a will, who should the beneficiary give to?

Chen Yang himself has never participated in the operation and management of the "Dream of Search" group, and after the death of his parents, he has always been a few uncles - that is, friends of Chen Yang's parents before their deaths, and professional management companies are responsible for taking care of them. As the patriarch of the group, for the development of the group, those uncles have also made a lot of efforts over the years, and it stands to reason that it is okay to leave the group to them.

However, "The Dream of Searching" was founded by his parents and defeated with one fist and kick, and he was really unwilling to let Chen Yang give away this country.

It's a pity that his younger brother is not his biological brother, and there is no legal adoption formalities, otherwise he wouldn't have to worry about this problem at all. Perhaps, I should get married and have children and have a descendant?

Chen Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head, quickly denying his thoughts. How can he get married with peace of mind if his parents' revenge has not yet been avenged? What's more, the reason why he is in a hurry to make a will now is because of the influence of traditional British thinking on the one hand, and more importantly, he himself cannot predict what will happen in the future.

Perpetrators who are vicious enough to commit murder with a bomb and so cunning that they have kept the police and private investigators clueless for years of investigation are certainly not good matches. And swearing to follow the other party's clues is equivalent to going against one or a group of extremely vicious and cunning enemies, and there is no guarantee that you will not be killed by the other party instead.

In Chen Yang's view, his future is completely unknowable and uncontrollable, he really doesn't want to marry a wife and have children in this situation, and he doesn't want the people he loves to be affected.

Holding the mobile phone, Chen Yang saw that he unconsciously turned out Wang Yiyuan's number on the mobile phone, and dialed it out in just one step. Shaking his head with a wry smile again, he returned the phone to the standby interface and put it in his pocket.
