If there is one thing that 2020 has taught us it is that a lot of our old practices were completely out of date. As industries have adapted to the increased strains this year it has left many asking “is this the future?”
None more so than the legal sector.
Many practices were forced to adapt to a “virtual” service and even the law was changed to mean that Wills witnessed via video call during lockdown periods would be counted as valid.
Not being able to leave the house has caused Amazon shares to soar, the number of people relying on food deliveries reach unsustainable levels and many other industries reduce contact with others including in their own teams.
For this reason, a reported 30,000 people chose to make or update their Wills online during the first lockdown of 2020.
Every industry is offering online platforms which enable a user to access services they would have once been forced to pay £££ for, and Reliance Wills is no different.
Reliance offer the public access to industry leading legal drafting software which has been adapted to make a simple, user friendly experience which doesnt cost the earth. Keeping them safer and extending a service to those who either don’t have the time, the money or the physical ability to go out and visit their local solicitors.
A person is now able to log on to a secure account, decide on what services they need and then create a legally valid Will in 15 mins or less from the comfort and safety of their own home.
Removing the risk of getting it wrong with a DIY Will kit.
Is it now time to embrace the “new norm”? And ask ourselves, “is this the future?”
