The reliable-system test

Designed for the “reliable system” the law now demands

The Law Commission’s 2025 report recommends scrapping the Wills Act 1837 and finally allowing electronic wills — but only where a reliable system secures them. The draft Bill sets three tests. We’re building to pass all three from day one.

01.

Tied to the signer

The lawThe system must tie a signature to the person who made it, at the moment of signing.

Practical ProbateWe’ll bind the testator’s verified identity to each will at execution with cryptographic digital signatures — the source of truth for who signed, and when.

02.

One provable original

The lawThe system must identify the will so it can be told apart from any copy.

Practical ProbateWe’ll give every will a unique cryptographic fingerprint, anchored on-chain — one provable original. No “which file is real?”

03.

Tamper-evident

The lawThe system must protect the will from alteration or destruction by anyone but the testator.

Practical ProbateWe’ll keep every will on an immutable, tamper-evident ledger. Any change is detectable; nothing can be quietly rewritten or deleted.

Legacy firms will spend years retrofitting for this. We’re building it in from the start.
