The FAS was a non-charitable unincorporated association founded in 2004 and Eric was a keen supporter of its activities. During his lifetime he had donated £45,000 towards the purchase of a club house for them out of a total cost of £64,000. He had also been to every Flaubert themed social event that they had held to raise funds. Eric was not, however, a member of FAS. The FAS’s funds had also been raised by membership subscriptions, street collections and by fund raising events such as concerts and raffles. In March 2017, FAS decided to sell all their assets and to disband the club. It is understood that a considerable surplus remained after FAS’s debts had been paid off. Advise the FAS’s treasurer on the proper disposition of the surplus funds. 25 Marks Question Four You are a lawyer at Arden LLP. You represent Yvonne who has asked you to draft her will.
