The inheritance was restricted to grandsons in their father's custody, care and control.

The man's will stated that 20 per cent of his estate was to be shared by his “surviving grandsons” born to his sons within 21 years of his death.

The High Court suit was brought against the two executors of the estate – Mr Julian Lim’s father, Mr Lim Peng On, and half-uncle Thomas Lim. Mr Julian Lim’s mother was granted a divorce on Oct 22, 1999, and awarded sole custody of the son, who was then one month shy of 18. They said Mr Lim Peng On told his father that he was separated from his wife, but Mr Lim Peng On disputes this.One of the clauses stated that 20 per cent of his estate was to be shared equally by his surviving grandsons born to his sons within 21 years of his death.

On Aug 31, 2022, Mr Julian Lim filed the present suit, arguing that he is the sole beneficiary entitled to 20 per cent of the estate.
