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?

We discuss identity verification, the lessons from Patel v Patel, undue influence, testamentary capacity and the evidential benefits of a reliable digital audit trail.
