Conditions, yes. The Wayne Foundations established in my parents' names benefited the city of Gotham in various ways, and while I don't presently have those kinds of assets, charitable work is incredibly important to be. The will would charter a percentage of future assets to be ringfenced for charity, a sum sufficiently beyond that which is tax deductable as to offset it; such as to benefit the homeless, orphaned children, and victims of violent crime.
There will be keys, which it will be the responsibility of the executor to distribute, and letters to be dispatched in the event of my death containing instructions and final words for each of my inheritors. The number and content of which is subject to flux given our circumstances.
Understood. I'll draw up a list of local charities benefitting those groups that seem to operate honestly. If you're so inclined, I can also put you in touch with representatives from them, so that you can decide which one you see as worthy.
As for these letters. They are, I assume, to be kept confidential? I would be happy to help you draft these letters if there are any legal matters involved, but if they are personal messages to your heirs then I can ensure that they will be placed in tamper-proof envelopes without having to be aware of the contents.
[ Research he could do himself, but it'd be useful to cross-reference what he found worthy and reputable with Edgeworth's list. ]
There will be six envelopes, to be kept with the hard copy of the will, each including instructions and a key, with the binding understanding that the contents of the lockbox the key accesses belongs to those individuals alone. As for my heirs, they'll be notarized in code, and the codex and true identities of the benefactors will be locked in a tamper proof account, the only key of which will be in my attorney's possession.
[ Though good lord - this all seems like rather extreme measures. Particularly considering that yesterday, Wayne had been rather goofily asking him tips on banking. ]
Do you have this code already prepared, or would you require the services of a cryptographer?
I almost lost my company fairly recently. Due to a lack of clarity on my behalf, the board attempted to float it on the stock exchange; a gesture meant to oust me from the decision process, allowing them to pursue a deeper interest in weapons research that was contrary to my late father's explicit wishes.
Since then I've developed a far deeper respect for being thorough, at least in affairs of business and property.
Very comprehensible, Mr. Wayne. And heartening to hear: the law allows for so many protections, but so often people are unable or unwilling to take advantage of them. I'm glad to hear you're not among them.
[ He tilts his head very slightly, appreciating what he takes to be a compliment. ]
Thank you, Mr. Edgeworth. In that case, if I draft the basics and allow you to fill out and refine it--that might be the best use of our time, I think?

You can do that, I assume?
