Hi there
My name has been spelt wrong on my will.
Does this matter ?
It is just 2 letters that are the wrong way around. It is clear that it is me.
But does this matter ?

I did not notice this when i signed it

Yes it matters. Get it changed.

Yes it matters

was it witnessed correctly? Did you do the Will yourself?

JasperJohnsPaintbrush · 13/12/2022 20:47

Yes it matters. Is this your draft copy?. Read it through carefully and Note down anything that needs to be changed, then notify your solicitor and tell them.

LadyGaGasPokerFace · 13/12/2022 20:48

Yes, it matters. Send it back to be corrected.

Yes

Rauha · 13/12/2022 20:50

Yes, it does matter.

Yep. You should get it amended, preferably before you die. Errors in Wills cause all sorts of complications. Unfortunately, not for the person whose made the Will!
