• Will of Aga Khan III, Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah.
• Otto Giesen, a solicitor with the firm of
  Slaughter and May, brought the Will of the Aga
  Khan III to Geneva from Lloyds Bank, London, and
  read it at Barkat Villa before the Imam's family
• "Ever since the time of my ancestor Ali, the
  first Imam, that is to say over a period of
  thirteen hundred years, it has always been the
  tradition of our family that each Imam chooses
  his successor at his absolute and unfettered
  discretion from amongst any of his descendants,
  whether they be sons or remote male issue and in
  these circumstances and in view of the
  fundamentally altered conditions in the world in
  very recent years due to the great changes which
  have taken place including the discoveries of
  atomic science, I am convinced that it is in the
  best interest of the Shia Muslim Ismailia
  Community that I should be succeeded by a young
  man who has been brought up and developed during
  recent years and in the midst of the new age and
  who brings a new outlook on life to his office as
  Imam. For these reasons, I appoint my grandson
  Karim, the son of my own son, Aly Salomone Khan
  to succeed to the title of Aga Khan and to the
  Imam and Pir of all Shia Ismailian followers."
