Charity: trust creation and public policy II
Problem scenario
Reginald died recently. Consider which of the following provisions in his will might be a valid charitable legacy:
- £100,000 to my trustees on trust to provide temporary shelter for Old Etonians who have fallen on hard times. Preference to be given to my old class mates;
- £10,000 to my trustees to support research into the likely consequences for political and public life of a legal ban on the Society of Free and Accepted Masons;
- £5,000 to my trustees to promote the playing of card games by deprived youth as an alternative to watching television;
- £5,000 to my psychotherapist, Doctor F. Reud, to buy a new couch for the greater comfort of his many grateful patients.
