Master Will with drafting notes

Resource type: Standard document

Status: Maintained

Jurisdictions: England, Wales

This standard document is a will offering a range of options for testators. It has integrated drafting notes.

The FastDraft version of this will now includes an optional commentary that you can send to the client, explaining the terms of the will. The commentary automatically reflects the choices you make when drafting the will in FastDraft. The will commentary is currently a FastDraft test version and we would welcome your feedback on how it works with the will you are drafting. Please send your comments to us via the feedback button (located in the banner at the top of all PLC pages).
