According to the last will of the Deceased, the Deceased bequeathed a property to the Plaintiff on the condition that there was no change of marital status between Plaintiff and her husband. However, the the Executrix of the estate refused to transfer the property to the Plaintiff, as she thought the meaning of โ€œchange of marital statusโ€ was ambiguous in that it may include death and separation apart from divorce. 


Upon perusing the clauses of the will, the Court took the view that โ€œchange of marital statusโ€ only meant divorce and granted a declaration to this effect clearing up any ambiguity that the Executrix may have in this regard.
