Z was a French citizen who moved to London in the late 1970s. He died in 2001, unmarried and childless. By his will, Z left the residue of his estate to his sister, M, provided—as occurred—she survived him for 56 days; and subject to that, his shares in a French company, C, were to pass to various nephews and nieces (N). M survived the deceased for 56 days.
