Solicitor (Sarah Groarke)

In February 2018, Lachlan White met with a Solicitor to discuss the wills of his mother, Chrissie, and grandfather, Lawrence, following their deaths in a car crash the previous month. The solicitor explained that Lawrence changed his will multiple times in his final years - the last version split everything equally between his daughters, Chrissie and Rebecca, and grandsons, Lachlan and Sebastian. Chrissie also left everything in her will to Lachlan. The solicitor revealed that Lawrence was carrying heavy debts at the time of his death, so after Chrissie's share has been redistributed, his three heirs would each receive about £300k, whilst Lachlan would also receive an additional £100k from Chrissie's estate. The solicitor informed Lachlan that his share would be held in trust until he turned twenty-one, although he would be granted an allowance in the meantime. Lachlan inquired if this was the same for Sebastian. The solicitor confirmed it was, although if Rebecca succumbed to her injuries sustained in the crash, Sebastian's inheritance would then be controlled by whoever becomes his guardian.
