Q1. Jenny died in 2022. During a successful career as a high-ranking police officer in Birmingham, Jenny had devoted her life to advancing citizenship within the community. She had also amassed a substantial collection of art by the 19th Century artists - "The Sisterhood". By her will made in 2020, Jenny appointed Kevin and Michael as her trustees. Jenny made a number of directions:

(a) One painting from my collection to be given, as my trustees think fit, to any person who is appreciative of The Sisterhood.

(b) 100,000 to be disposed of within two years of my death, if they think it appropriate, amongst the inhabitants of greater Manchester; the rest to be divided equally between those who cared for my elderly mother before she died;

(d) The residue of my estate to be distributed at my trustee's discretion to the good citizens of Birmingham. Any question as to what I mean by "good citizens" is to be determined by my old friend the Lord Mayor of Birmingham.

Advise the trustees as to the validity of these requests.
