Emily made a will with a well-known will-writing service provider only to learn they werent being entirely truthful with their processes.

When Emily came to her lawyers Daniels she was tired of dealing with other companies who arent experts in their area.

She had previously made a will with a well-known company who provide will-writing as a side-line to the work they are famous for. After thinking she had made her will with this company, she was shocked to find out that they had outsourced the work to a third party unbeknownst to her. When she found this out her trust had been diminished. She informed the company that she will no longer be drawing up her will with the third party that it was outsourced to.

Emily was then recommended to Daniels by her son who trusted them as they were a well-known high street law firm. Her will was drawn up to a high standard by a dedicated professional. They retained a signed copy and she took home a signed copy having made one of their staff members executors to her estate. Emily asks her solicitor at Daniels how does the will get executed if she dies?
