Hi - hope this is a suitable board for this question.

Basically I have a will already, all done properly by legal people. What I would like to know is ,given that the only change I wish to make is to the executors, could I just get the appropriate form and copy the will exactly (apart from changing executors)and get it witnessed. I can't see any problems with this as all the same legalese will there - does anybody know if I am missing something?

Also, do I actually need a special form or does any written document stand as a will of written as such?

Thanks for reading.

You could do this, however you need to make sure the witnessing and signatures is correctly done.

Personally I'd prefer to completely re-do it, because it gives the chance for a thorough review, with the solicitor knowing of changes to the law which might be relevant.

Thanks for your reply. Must admit I am trying to be a cheapskate as I have no spare dosh and my will is very simple - basically everything to my two daughter equally so I didnt think any kind of review was necessary.
