The first 6 wills were prepared by Ms Kwa Kim Li.
The Demolition Clause first appeared in Mr Lee’s first will made on 20 August 2011 (the “First Will”)....
Mr Lee gave instructions to remove the Demolition Clause, and it was removed, from the penultimate two wills (the “Fifth Will” and “Sixth Will”).
However, it somehow found its way back into the Last Will. The Last Will was prepared by a partner of Lee Hsien Yang's wife, Lee Suet Fern.
Lee Hsien Yang and his wife tried to push through with the signing of this last will as quickly as possible. Lee Kuan Yew wanted to contact the original lawyer Kwa Kim Li (KKL) who had prepared the first 6 wills.
However, Lee Hsien Yang had removed KKL from the e-mail chain before telling Lee Kuan Yew that the lawyer (KKL) was un-contactable and was away, and that it would be best to quickly do up the last will in KKL's absence. He said it was not wise to wait till Kwa Kim Li came back to change his will.
In the space of 41 minutes, LSF saw to the preparation of the new will and got one of her lawyers to be on standby to get it executed by Mr Lee.
Kwa Kim Li found out about what happened the day after, and was surprised that she had not been contacted.
Lee Hsien Yang, with his wife's partners took only 15 minutes to procure Mr Lee’s signature on the Last Will which included the time needed to log in and out of the house.
The changes to the will was not communicated to Lee Wei Ling or Lee Hsien Loong. See More
