ABSTRACT
Many older settlements appear to restrict the class of children and issue who may benefit to those who are legitimate. Whether this is the full story and what trustees can do about it, given the impact of the issue on family harmony, was considered by Chief Master Marsh in the recent case of PQ v RS. The case is of particular interest on the point of the use of powers of appointment (rather than powers of advancement) to benefit non-objects.
