The Law Commission’s proposals to modernise Wills mark a once-in-a-generation shift for the profession. To ensure these reforms work in practice, Arken Legal convened leading private client practitioners, legal firms, professional bodies and technology providers to discuss the opportunities, challenges and safeguards ahead.

This collaborative white paper captures that shared industry perspective. Inside, you’ll find reflections on:

• What a secure and reliable system for electronic Wills should look like
• The essential safeguards around identity, capacity and risk
• How standards can remain consistent across firms and platforms
• Where technology can support practitioners — and where human expertise remains critical

The result is a clear, unified view on what the profession needs to modernise safely, confidently and effectively.
