    • PROBATE FILE.

      The Probate File of Hubert John BEADEL is 62 pages long, a result of a need to go to Court to sort out leases of land he owned.

      In his will Hubert left his houshold effects to his wife, a sum of 1000 pounds to his son Hubert Pitt Beadel in recognition of his work on his father's farm, the remainder of his assets to be put into a trust to provide income for his wife and children. A codicil to the Will appointed the New Zealand Insurance Company to be executor of the will, with his son Hubert Pitt Beadel to be an advisory trustee. The will did not give the trustee the power to lease land.

      At the time of his death Hurbert John BEADEL owned Blakistone Farm in the Culverden Survey District (820 acres). He had also purchased the adjacent 820 acre farm his son-in-law Lionel Hawdon DAVISON was renting from his father, the sale occuring on the understanding that Lionel could purchase the property for the same price when he had the funds (6000 pounds). Lionel had been unable to arrange finance to purchase the 820 acre farm from his father before he died, and his father-in-law had made the purchase with Lionel surrendering his lease so the sale could occur. Lionel had continued to occupy the property and had made improvements (500 pounds). The New Zealand Insurance Company did not accept Lionel's claims and after legal action it was agreed, with approval of the court, that Lionel renounce any claims to the property, the NZ Insurance Company pay Lionel 500 ponds for the improvements he had made, and lease the property to Lionel from 1926-1934 for 550 pounds per year.

      Also at the time of his death, Hurbert John BEADEL had obtained the outstanding mortgage on the 72 acre farm his son Hubert Pitt BEADEL owned. Hurbert John BEADEL had wholly controlled the finances and farming operations of the farm from the date of purchase by his son, and had paid all liabilities incured in connection with running the farm. His son had undertaken the farming operations and recieved all income arising from the farm. It was estimated that the income was about equal to the expenditures. To settle this matter it was agreed, with approval of the court, that Hubert Pitt BEADEL pay the estate the outstanding mortgage (4273 pounds) so that he would own the farm.

      A number of pages of the file list the legal costs associated with settling the above matters, with the costs born by the estate and requiring court approval.
