Trusts, Wills & Estates
Wills published on the internet.

It is a common misconception that a will is a private document. In an era where our lives are more public than ever, it is anomaly that many clients consider the will of a deceased to be a private document, only for the eyes of a few. On the contrary, it is one of the deceased's last public statements. Now governments around the world are moving to publish wills on the internet. China has uploaded 1.1 million wills thus far and England is moving full steam ahead with its will digitising program, having recently uploaded the wills of deceased soldiers and now famous wills such as that of Princess Diana.
