Non resident will

Hi all
My parents own property in UK and Pakistan. I and my siblings live in UK and are UK citizens. Parents are normally resident in Pakistan but spend a few months a year in UK. They want to get a will written so I recommend co-op will writing services to them. However it seems they need to be resident in UK to use that service.
My question is should they get will written in Pakistan or is there going to be some local solicitor willing to write the will.
What is legality of a will written in another country?
Thanks

They almost certainly need two wills, one for the UK and another for Pakistan. They should see solicitors in each country0

They should be able to find a solicitor to preapre an English will for them buyt they can only dispose of property in England under it. A separate will is needed to dispose of property in Pakistan.Hi all
