The States of Jersey has passed into law the COVID-19 (Signing
of Instruments) (Jersey) Regulations 2020
("Regulations"). The Regulations
temporarily provide that from 23 April 2020, Jersey Wills can be
signed and witnessed via audio-visual link, such as Skype or
FaceTime.
We have seen a significant increase in the number of existing
and new clients wishing to update their existing Wills or put new
Wills in place and the Regulations will allow clients to do so
without requiring third party witnesses to be physically present at
the time of signing.
The Regulations are a welcome development, allowing individuals
to arrange their affairs in a safe and convenient manner.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
