2. That the same will appointed the defendant Joseph Attard as the executor of the will, as well as his universal heir after the numerous legacies left by the late Anton Felic Attard are distributed according to the same will;

3. That the legatees, also plaintiffs according to the same will were named on a number of legacies as identified in two instances by means of Articles eight and ten of the same will;

5. That by the same will herewith the testator leaves via another legacy, any money and investments which remain after the payment of all the legacies mentioned in the preceding articles, in respect of the part of five undivided (1/5) to his sister Nina Attard who is not a party in this case, as for the part of five undivided (1/5) to his sister Carmela Sacco with the vulgar substitution of her children, which Carmela Sacco died and therefore the share is due to the plaintiffs Joseph Sacco, Marthese Mizzi and Giorgina Sacco, for the part of five undivided (1/5) to the children of the deceased sister Rita Ciappara, therefore to the plaintiffs Maryanne Ciappara, Pawlu Ciappara, Josephine sive Joyce Azzopardi, Sonia Maria Xuereb and Angele Grima, for the part of five undivided (1/5) to the sons of Felic Attard, ergo the plaintiffs Charles Attard, Josephine Ellul, Emmanuel Attard, Victor Attard and Elizabeth Elkhiate, in addition the testator left an undivided (1/5) to the defendant Joseph Attard with the vulgar substitution of his children;

6. That after the death of the late Anthony sive Anton Felic Attard, the executor through the Notary Josianne Mifsud and the attached document marked as Doc. 'CA 2' wanted to pass on to the legatees, here plaintiffs, the amount that the testator left to them in accordance with Article eight of the will solely and this without any statement of the assets held by the testator so that the legatees would be informed and have the information that the legacy left to them is being distributed in accordance with the wishes of the testator;

7. That subsequently the applicants enjoined by means of several legal letters and even an official letter in order to give an account of how the executor arrived at the sum indicated by him which was only the sum mentioned in article eight of the same will;

10. That therefore the applicants had no choice but to put forward this present case.

Accordingly, the applicants respectfully request that this Honourable Court:

1. Establish all the wealth that the testator Anthony sive Anton Felic Attard had at the time of his death and also orders through an architect nominated by the same Court to make account of how the testator's wealth was to be distributed according to the aforementioned legacies;

3. Orders the defendant to pay interest on the fixed sum to be paid in accordance with the legacy left to them from the date of filing of the deposit of funds (ċedola ta' depożitu) which the defendant untimely filed;

4. Establish that the deposit of funds (ċedola ta' depożitu) filed by the defendant Joseph Attard are untimely and therefore any costs related to the same deposit of funds (ċedoli ta' depożitu) must be borne by the same defendant;

5. Orders the liquidation of damages arbitrio boni viri against the plaintiffs for the damages suffered by them due to the fact that the defendant did not perform his duty in failing to give account of the testator's wealth.

With costs and with interests

That as far as the exponents know none of their uncles ever mentioned that Joseph Grima was married and even more that he had children. That Joseph Grima had five (5) other brothers and sisters: Karmnu who had died in 1974; Anthony who died on 21th February, 1976; Maria Rosa who died on 19th December, 1991; Nikola who died on 20th December, 1994; and Carmela, spinster, who died on 14th July, 2005. That Karmnu and Anthony, who died before Joseph were bachelors and had no children. Therefore, at a time when contact with Joseph Grima was cut off, his only relatives were his three sisters Maria Rosa, Nikola and Carmela and these were the persons called for his inheritance. That Maria Rosa died a spinster on 19th December, 1991, and regulated her succession through a will in the acts of Notary Michael Refalo of 10th November, 1990, through which she nominated her sister Carmela Grima as her universal heir. That Carmela Grima, spinster, sister of the said Joseph, died a spinster and had no children on 14th of July, 2005. She regulated her succession through a will in the acts of the Notary Kristen Dimech of 22nd March, 2004, through which she appointed the three grandchildren, the sons of Nikola Grima, mentioned below as her universal heirs. That Nikola Grima died intestate on 20th of December, 1994. He had three children, exponent Carmen Galea, Grace and Carmelo Grima. Grace died a spinster and without children on the 9th of July, 2011. She died intestate and therefore her two sisters Carmen Galea and Carmelo Grima inherited her. Carmelo Grima died on the 16th of January, 2012, and his wife Doris inherited a half share and his only son Daniel Grima in another half share. That therefore today the exponents are the only people called to the inheritance of Joseph Grima as successors of his three sisters Maria Rosa, Nikola and Carmela Grima mentioned above. That it is necessary that the succession of the said Giusepp sive Joseph Grima should be done in favor of his heirs according to the law and this in a quota of an undivided half (1/2) in favor of Carmen Galea (KI 58738G) and an undivided quarter (1/4) each in favor of Daniel Grima (KI 17575G) and Doris Grima (KI 42850G), the issuance of this ban was ordered to inform anyone involved.

Wherefore, any person who considers to have an interest in the matter is hereby called upon to appear before the said Court and to bring forward his objections hereto by a minute to be filed within fifteen days from the posting of the banns.
