ABSTRACT

Full and detailed instructions should be taken on the following points. (Note that, if the client turns out to have property abroad, special problems may arise, consideration of which is beyond the scope of this book.)

Some elderly people are entitled to ‘green form’ legal advice and assistance to make a will, for example, if they are over 70 or suffer from some incapacity (for example, deafness or dumbness) or a mental disorder, or congenital deformity, and this must be borne in mind.
