Q5 - Solicitor: Loux named Zembaty executor

[jardinsouslapluie5]

I chose correct answer (E) because other choices were not good enough.

Why grandson's desire matters, though?
Is it because he is a beneficiary?

Absolutely. It gives us a possible reason why Loux would have had an objection to selling the farm to pay off the debts.

Loux apparently did not know that the grandson wanted it. However, her -perhaps- lack of knowledge of this information would not leave her without objection to getting rid of the farm if it were true that the grandson had interest.

===other answers===

A) Strengthens somewhat, since it bolsters the idea that Zembaty was correct to sell the farm

B) is irrelevant to the issue of whether Loux would care that Zembaty sold the farm.

C) is also irrelevant to the issue of whether Loux would care that Zembaty sold the farm.

D) Strengthens in a fashion similar to (A). It makes it seem like Zembaty was correct to sell the farm (hence, Loux would not have objected).

I have a question regarding A and E. While E does strengthen the fact that there are reasons to sell the house, but does it necessarily strengthen the fact that Loux will unlikely to have any objections?

You may A?

Loux will unlikely object because selling the farm (specifically) would be something Zembaty would be legally required to do, i.e. Zembarty has to clear the estate's debt and cannot do so without selling the farm - there is no other way. If Zembarty cannot do this, then Loux can forget about 'distributing the remainder to the beneficiary' at all.

Why would D be irrelevant?

I eliminated A,B,C easily and got stuck with D/E and chose D.

If the Stoke Farm was the main cause of the debt, paying debt by selling it would be ridiculous. For example, if you buy a car or house and accumulate debt, selling that property to pay debt would destroy the original purpose of purchasing it. That is the analogy I used to justify D over E.

I thought E was irrelevant because what the beneficiary would think is irrelevant as opposed to what Loux would think.

Can someone explain why D is irrelevant?

As I bought a house and accumulated debt, and after I die, this house could be sold for debt. I bought this house to enjoy my life but not to leave it for my grandson.
