Lady E’s will up in the heir

AS A party planner, the late Lady Elizabeth Shakerley was known for her attention to detail and threw many successful soirees for her cousin the Queen, pictured together left. Unfortunately, her meticulous nature was not replicated when it came to her will – and now her only daughter, Fiona Burrows, has had to turn to an heir-hunting firm to help locate some mysterious beneficiaries.

Some of the names are recognisable, such as Lady Gabriella Windsor, who is among 19 godchildren set to inherit £1,000.

But the flaw in the will – which was put together by lawyers at Lincoln’s Inn – is that it omitted to provide contact details of some of the lesser-known beneficiaries.

Neil Fraser, partner at Fraser and Fraser, tells me that the will is ‘perfect from a legal point’ but that the lack of contact information makes it ‘quite useless’.
