Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what estimate he has made of the number of people over the age of 70 that have not made a will.
This question was answered on 21st January 2019
The Secretary of State for Justice has made no estimate. Individuals are not required to notify any third party that they have made a will and there is no central record of whether individuals have left a valid will when they die.
The Government provides advice on making a will on the Gov.UK website – www.gov.uk/make-will.
