Allow high courts dispensing powers for informal Wills, Wills are intentions!

Petition Details

Currently there is no fair trial available for the deceased informal Wills/codicils, the Wills act strict execution requirements mean errors are terminal to that Will/Codicil, we propose that where evidence is available, courts should have the power to judge on the true intention of the deceased

Additional Information

Law Commission stated in 2017 that dispensing powers for high courts to judge the true intentions of a informal Will is one of their reform suggestions.
The Law Society in 2017 provisionally agreed to dispensing powers for high courts.
2019 the Law Commission paused the final stage of their Wills project that would give justice to informal Wills.
