The Law Commission last sought views about these topics in 2017.
This month, the Law Commission published a supplementary consultation Making a Will: A Supplementary Consultation Paper. The consultation revisits two issues:
- electronic wills, and
- marriage revoking a will.
On their website, the Law Commission explains the reason for the consultation by citing developments since 2017 that have likely altered the views of interested parties.
These developments include: the pandemic necessitating a greater uptake in digital wills, and greater awareness around predatory marriage.
The public consultation lasts until 5 December 2023, and we will aim to submit our own response in the coming weeks.
For more information about the consultation, and how to respond, visit the Law Commission website.
