🤖 Are Wills and Probate Solicitors still needed in the age of AI?

With artificial intelligence becoming part of everyday life, some people are turning to AI tools to help write or update their wills. But when it comes to something as important as protecting your loved ones and your estate, relying solely on technology can be risky.

A will is one of the most important legal documents you’ll ever create. It needs to be carefully drafted, legally valid, and tailored to your unique circumstances. Simple mistakes, unclear wording, or failing to meet legal requirements could cause disputes, delays, or even invalidate your wishes.

At Holdens, our experienced Wills & Probate team provides expert, personalised advice to ensure your will truly reflects your wishes and protects the people who matter most.

Have you thought about what would happen if you couldn’t make decisions for yourself?

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows someone you trust to make decisions about your finances or health and care if you lose capacity.

Our Private Client team at Holdens Law can guide you through setting up an LPA clearly and efficiently, ensuring your wishes are protected and your family has clarity during difficult times.

Planning ahead isn’t just sensible - it’s reassuring.
