Every will produced through either route is reviewed by a qualified solicitor.
Editorial responsibility
Oliver is the named author of the guides in our resources library (/resource) and of the articles on our blog (/blog). Each guide and article is written under his direction, drawing on his experience as a private-client solicitor and a TEP. These are general information about the law of England and Wales, not legal advice for a specific person’s circumstances — see our disclaimer for the full position. Where a guide or article has been substantially updated, the “Last reviewed” date at the top of the page reflects the most recent legal review.
