BRUNEI: Do you have a Will?

WILLS

1. Service personnel are strongly encouraged, and provided with the opportunity, to complete a Will (QRs Ch 7 Pt 7 and 2018DIN01-091).

2. The intention of a Will is to ensure that a deceased person’s estate (money, possessions and property) is distributed to beneficiaries in accordance with the deceased person’s wishes. If a person dies without a valid Will they are termed intestate and their estate will be divided up according to a standard legal formula. This might not be what the deceased would have wanted.

3. The recommended methods of making a Will available to Service personnel (SP) can be summarised as follows:

a. As for Civilians:

(1) By drawing up a Will on expert advice.

(2) By using one of the printed forms which can be purchased.

(3) By writing a simple Will on a sheet of paper.

b. Methods available to Service personnel only:

(1) Use of the MOD Form 106.

(2) Exceptionally, usually during war time, by making informal unwitnessed wills, but these should be replaced with a formal Will at the earliest opportunity.

4. There is a Service requirement to record the status and whereabouts of a person’s Will on JPA, or the fact that the Service Person (SP) has chosen not to make a Will or declare their intentions to the Services.

Where there are no airlines offering an UNMIN service, the parent should, in the first instance, contact the Movement Control Centre (MCC), who will advise on alternative options for travel.

2. The UNMIN service should be employed for children between 7 and 12 years of age within the SCV contract. Children aged over 12 may, on their parent’s authority, travel unescorted unless otherwise stated by the airline. Where the MCC is satisfied that no UNMIN service is available parents can either request to the lowest cost of one of the following options:

a. Reverse SCV. This entitlement is for one parent only, for each of the 6 annual school holidays and is per family, rather than per eligible child.

b. A publicly funded return flight, and if flight timings preclude travel in one day, overnight subsistence, for one parent to travel and collect/return their child(ren) by the most economical route.
