It's a nonsensical headline. There's no change in the law. The Law Society (the lawyers' professional body) can't make or change laws. All they're doing is providing their members with an off-the-shelf tool for drawing up wills in a way that certain clients want (in this case certain Muslims). Such off-the-shelf proformas already exist for all the conventional forms of will. Using them simply saves the lawyer time, and therefore the client money. Has no implications for the law itself.
That’s the way I read it, too, based upon “Provided the will is signed in accordance with the requirements set out in the Wills Act 1837, there is nothing to prevent an English domiciled person choosing to dispose of their assets in accordance with Sharia succession rules.”
The asset disposition will be in full accordance with the English Wills Act. Sounds like much ado about nothing.
What a buzz-kill you are with your facts and calm reason.
