To pass SQE2 candidates will need to obtain the overall pass mark for SQE2 .  \nThis sample question and discussion of answer is an example of a client interview and attendance note/legal analysis assessment.  \nCandidates have 10 minutes to consider the email and any documents. They then have 25 minutes to conduct the interview with the client. Candidates have 25 minutes to write, by hand, an attendance note/legal analysis of the interview they have just completed.  \nFor further detail see the SQE2 Assessment Specification.  \nPlease note that the sample questions are provided to give an indication of the type of tasks that candidates could be set. They do not represent all the material that will be covered in SQE2 . Future questions may not take exactly the same format.  \nQuestion and additional candidate papers  \nFrom: Partner  \nSent: 5 May 202\\#  \nTo: Candidate  \nSubject: Damian Robins  \nDamian Robins is a new client. He has made an appointment to see you today following the death of his sister, Astrid Green. He has sent me a copy of his sister’s will which you will find attached.  \nYou will see from the will that Damian is one of the executors. He intends to administer the estate without our help but he is instructing us to give him some initial advice about the following:  \n• who should act as executors;  \n• how the estate should be distributed. I understand some of the assets mentioned in the will were no longer owned by the deceased when she died; and  \n• an explanation of whether any inheritance tax will be payable.  \nAstrid’s family situation is a little complicated, so Damian has kindly provided us with a brief summary of Astrid’s family, which I have also attached to this email. This should be useful when considering the terms of Astrid’s will.  \nI will be working on the file with you, so following your meeting, please write a full attendance note/case analysis setting out all the advice we should give the client in relation to the issues above, as well as any other matters you discuss at the meeting. Please also include any key facts, next steps for us/or the client, and any professional conduct issues that arise.  \nThanks  \nPartner  \nAttachments:  \n1. Copy will of Astrid Green  \n2. Details of the family of Astrid Green  \nNote to Candidates:  \nYou are not required to deal with, nor will you be asked about, client care matters (including costs) or money laundering issues.  \nThis is the last Will of me ASTRID GREEN of 99 Castle Street Grays Essex RM16 7YY which I make this 12th day of June 2010  \n1. I REVOKE all former Wills and Codicils made by me  \n2. I APPOINT my husband COLIN GREEN and my brother DAMIAN ROBINS and my sister JOAN KNIGHT to be my executors and trustees (“my Trustees”)  \n3. I MAKE the following gifts in each case free of tax:  \na) To my son FRANK GREEN my grandfather’s carriage clock which was given tomy grandfather on his retirement from ABC plc  \nb) To each of my granddaughters GAYNOR GREEN and SUSAN GREEN the sum of £500  \nc) To my nephew JOHN ROBINS 500 shares in ABC plc  \n4.
