The Chinese Divorce Agreement was formally defective and did not dissolve the 1950 marriage; therefore Madam Young remained married to Mr Wang at her death; Madam Young was domiciled in Singapore at death so Singapore intestacy law applied; under that law the beneficiaries are Mr Wang's estate, the plaintiff and the defendant with the plaintiff entitled to the majority; accordingly letters of administration should be granted to the plaintiff (or his lawfully constituted attorney) and declarations made to that effect.
