Following the recent news, in this episode we will be doing a deep dive into the announcement that Wills witnessed by video will be legally accepted.

Our panel of guests include:

Gary Rycroft; Solicitor in Private Practice and Chair of Dying Matters

Ian Bond; Solicitor in Private Practice and Chair of Law Society Wills and Equity Committee

Louisa Emburey; Legacy and In-Memory Manager - Prostate Cancer UK

Matthew Lagden; Chief Executive - Institute of Legacy Management

Questions explored are:

1. What significance does this change have for the will-writing public under the current circumstances? 


2. Considering the recent upsurge in the demand for will-writing, what impact do you think this may have on legacy-giving?  


3. What challenges and risks could this pose and how can the legal and charity sector work together to overcome these?


4. Whilst this change is temporary, do you think it could trigger further modernisation of Will-writing?
