Witnessing of wills refers to the formal attestation of a will in which the testator signs the document in the presence of two independent witnesses who also sign. This ensures the document’s authenticity and helps prevent disputes after death. A solicitor practicing in this area advises on who may act as a witness, common pitfalls, and the required formalities to avoid invalidation.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

A solicitor reviews the will to confirm proper signing and witnessing, checks any potential conflicts of interest, advises on the impact of bequests, and ensures the witnesses are properly identified and eligible. They also guide clients on probate implications and any potential challenges to the will, supported by regulatory safeguards for client funds and professional accountability.
