If A Will Has Been Misplaced, Are Problems Ahead?

Most people understand how important it is to create their last will as they get older or their affairs become more complex.

Yet, complications can arise due to the passage of time, and it's not unheard of for the will to be misplaced.

About Me

Protecting the vulnerable

My first inspiration to start studying law came very early, when I spotted the statue of blind lady justice holding her scales. Justice helps protect everyone without knowing which case is being weighed in front of her. Law is a subject that interests professionals and amateurs equally - especially those quirky stories of weird legal cases we love to forward onto everyone. My personal favourites are the public liability cases that make you shake your head. I find the news of legal cases supremely interesting and love to keep a record on this blog of the legal news and interesting case law I stumble upon.
