The Will is to be construed under New Zealand law; clause 5 requires payment of administration expenses, including UK inheritance tax, from the general residue prior to division; accordingly the residuary estate must be distributed equally as net shares among the four beneficiaries; the Deed of Family Arrangement constitutes a full and final settlement that bars the widow from contesting an equal net division.
