husband (blessed memory) has written a "will" which he specifically pointed
my attention and I quote.

case of my absence on earth only by death. I made an agreement with the
Security Company that my foreign partner will stand as a beneficiary to lay

consignment.

that incase if he dies that I should look for a foreigner who will stand as
the beneficiary of the fund so that the fund will be transfer to his or her
account for partnership investment. From the above you can understand that
