Hi
I was wondering if there was any problem with getting a plain English will, like a plain English contract.
My mother in law recently had a will drawn up by a solicitor and is sound like something from Dickens.
I questioned weather she should sign something she has no hope of understanding.
I'm getting a will soon and would like to have as close to a plain English one as practical.
Can you see any problems
Thanks
PS here is an example of what I want to avoid.
"My executors shall have the power to apply the whole or any part of the income or capital of the vested or contingent share of any beneficiary towards the advancement maintenance education welfare or benefit in life of such beneficiary without seeing to the application thereof it being my intent that the welfare of such beneficiary shall be the paramount consideration of my executors."
