It clearly is rather outdated and caselaw suggests a degree of fracture even if not breakage!

So a spring-cleaned replacement is long overdue. LRA2002 is an exemplar of a modernised statute building on an older one.

But Wills by text or without any formalities or by minors? No, that runs many risks of fraud and misfeasance. The Law Commission knows well the evils to which a few people tend:look at he caselaw. Consumer Protection applies to Wills too, you know!

Anyone wishing to make such points should simply respond to the LC as mentioned in the Consultation document. Silence is tacit acquiescence.
