Bequests

Several members of the KNEEguru bulletin board have asked about specific wording for bequests to the site in their wills. We think that one of these would be appropriate -

The receipt of the Managing Director, Chief Financial Officer, Company Secretary or other authorised officer for the time being of ftmg Associates Limited (its successors or assigns) is an absolute discharge to my executors.
