Wills: Publicity
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to his Department's Choice not Chance campaign in 2015, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of holding another such campaign to encourage more people to make a will.
- Answer
-
A will is an important document, enabling someone to make clear what their wishes are, after they die. About 40% of the adult population do not have a will. We have asked the Law Commission to look at Will making in the 21st century and will assess the merits of holding another campaign once we have received and considered the Law Commission's report.
