Modernising Wills – Reform and Reality is a podcast discussion series from the Wills Modernisation Industry Panel exploring the future of Electronic Wills.

As reform gathers pace, this series brings together senior voices from across legal practice, professional bodies and legal technology to examine what modernisation really means in practice - not just in principle.

Each episode focuses on a key aspect of reform, from defining what an Electronic Will is, to exploring evidential standards, legal validity, system requirements and real-world implementation challenges.

Alongside the podcast, the Panel publishes accompanying papers that capture discussion points, legal and technical analysis, and emerging recommendations.

Together, these outputs form part of a wider programme of work aimed at supporting informed, practical progress in this area of reform.

The series is independently facilitated by Arken Legal on behalf of the Wills Modernisation Industry Panel.

    Episode 3: Remote Witnessing, Fraud and Undue influence
    Aug 13 2026

    What does remote witnessing mean for the future of Electronic Wills — and does it really make them more vulnerable to fraud, undue influence or capacity concerns?

    In this episode, we explore the Law Commission’s proposals for Electronic Wills and remote witnessing, looking at the safeguards that could make digital execution not just as secure as paper, but potentially safer. We discuss identity verification, the lessons from Patel v Patel, undue influence, testamentary capacity and the evidential benefits of a reliable digital audit trail.

    Could Electronic Wills ultimately strengthen the safeguards around Will-making?
