Comment from our Wills & Probate Partner

All those involved in Will writing agree that the Covid-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to the way we work.

The confirmation that the law relating to the completion of wills is to be amended to make the task of executing wills easier in these circumstances is a huge feat.   However, the overriding message has to be that this is very much last resort. The scope for expensive litigation relating to wills completed in this manner is a major concern. The most important message continues to be, when making a Will, take professional advice, from a trusted advisor.   https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/video-witnessed-wills-to-be-legalised-under-temporary-si-/5105150.article
