The meaning of the name Olsen is ancestor, heir, or descendant. The name is both Danish and Norwegian in origin.
An heir to an estate that is in probate can receive an "advance" against his or her beneficial interest in the estate. Because the "advance" only affects that heir's share, it can be done without the consent of the other heirs. Most of these transactions are structured as purchase agreements, not interest bearing loans. The advances are also "non-recourse" meaning that if the heir does not inherit enough to pay off the advance, the heir has no legal responsibility to repay it.

AnswerIt was a custom used in English wills (circa 18th century) to disinherit an heir. Rather than not mentioning the heir, which could be construed as an oversight, a single shilling would be bequeathed to show that the heir was being intentionally disinherited, or "cut off". A slight variation of the expression is "to cut off without a Shilling", where the potential heir would not have met with the conditions or requirements of the will, or possibly, that there may have been a major disagreement or other reason for the deceased to exclude the potential heir.
