The Will of Meshakov-Korjakin, deceased

In the matter of the will of Meshakov-Korjakin, the dispute centred on the validity of various charitable trusts established under the will, which were intended to provide educational scholarships and care for the elderly. The court was asked to determine whether the trusts were valid, given the administrative scheme, and whether the failure to nominate a specific trustee affected the trusts' validity. Additionally, the court examined whether the accumulation of income was void, if the contingent gifts were void under the perpetuity rule, and if the time for performance of certain steps was essential to the validity of the trusts.

The central legal issues before the court included the necessity of a specific trustee's identity for the validity of the charitable trusts, the appropriateness of the administrative scheme for the educational scholarship and elderly care trusts, and the implications of the nominated trustee's refusal to act. Furthermore, the court had to consider whether the accumulation of income rendered the trusts void, whether the contingent gifts were void due to the perpetuity rule, and if the timing of the performance of certain steps was crucial for the validity of the trusts.

The court held that the identity of the trustee was not essential to the validity of the trusts, as the nominated trustee's refusal to act did not invalidate the trusts. The court found the administrative scheme appropriate for the execution of the charitable purposes, and that the accumulation of income did not render the trusts void. Additionally, the court determined that the contingent gifts were not void under the perpetuity rule and that the timing of the performance of certain steps was not essential to the validity of the trusts.

As a result, the court declared the charitable trusts established under the will to be valid and enforceable. The educational scholarship and elderly care trusts were found to be properly administered under the specified scheme, and the accumulation of income was deemed acceptable. Furthermore, the contingent gifts were not void due to the perpetuity rule, and the timing of the performance of certain steps did not affect the validity of the trusts.
