More Adults Making Wills – But Confusion Still Reigns: How SLS Wills and More Can Help
A recent article in Today’s Wills and Probate has revealed that more adults are taking the crucial step of writing a Will. Encouragingly, the 2025 Wills & Probate Report shows an increasing number of people understand the importance of planning for the future. However, despite this positive trend, significant confusion around the legal process still remains. Stats over the last 10+ years of SLS Wills and More being in existence have suggested that the number of people with a valid Will has remained roughly unchanged – 60% of the UK adult population don’t have a valid Will. At SLS Wills and More, we’re proud to see our client base continue to grow as more individuals seek expert guidance on Wills, estate planning, and probate.
