Move to bring ‘outdated law’ on wills into 21st century
Submitted by GRichardson on
The law governing the writing of wills needs to be updated to reflect modern understanding of dementia and mental capacity.
The government should also consider the introduction of electronic wills and reduce the age for making a will from 18 to 16.
Those are some of the recommendations from the Law Commission in a public consultation about how the will writing process should be brought into the 21st century.
