The portions of the inheritance
It is equally important that in the will it is described as accurately as possible which portion of the inheritance goes to which heir. That is obvious in the case of property, a house is a house. The address and the land registry identification are usually sufficient. Generally, a property is liquidated - so converted into liquid money - so that the profits from the sale of the property can be transferred to the bank account of the heir. It is a different case for all more liquid portions of the inheritance, such as money. This can be described in more detail by stating the bank and the bank product (eg. savings account) where the money is held, and how much is in the account at the time of drawing up the will.
We are regularly informed by readers that upon their death paintings by Jozef Rulof will go to the foundation. It is then advisable to include a detailed description in the will of the paintings referred to, also with a mention of the height and width measurements of the painting. A description of the illustration possibly including a photograph is also advisable.
In this way, we received four photographs this autumn, which a reader had made of the paintings by Jozef Rulof which she will give to the foundation upon her death. We asked her whether we could include these photographs in the donors' magazine of July 2009, because they have never been shown in public before, which she agreed to with all her heart. They are paintings which were received by Jozef Rulof in America and which his brother Anton (Teun) had for a long time. Anton gave them personally to the reader, who visited him several times in America. In this way, we have already received the promise that many paintings will return to the 'source', so that we can preserve them in the best possible storage conditions for future generations.
