Abstract

Juliet Brook tells us how our 180-year-old will and inheritance laws are causing problems during the pandemic and explains how other countries have worked in legislation to show leniency where witnesses are missing, or documents aren't correctly signed. So where might a reformed UK law draw the line of leniency when it comes to these "Dispensing Powers"?
