Estate of Samuel Matthias Curl

The Charitable Trust was set up to pay an income in perpetuity for the purposes as outlined in the Will dated 18 July 1906. A Court Order dated 19 December 2018 varied the Will. Income is to be paid to the Royal Anthropological Institute (‘the Institute’), on its undertaking that the funds will be applied for scientific publications or lectures in the United Kingdom, New Zealand or elsewhere. Where possible, the Institute is to give preference to essays, publications or lectures on life sciences and scientific research into the relationship between electricity and the life sciences.
