Solving Contested Wills

adeus Co-founder Mark Hedley presenting at the London Blockchain Conference in October 2025.

The topic is Solving Contested Wills with Blockchain, and includes a conversation of the key technologies adeus is using to help people create, execute and store an electronic will under the proposed change in legislation in England & Wales to allow for electronic wills. The details in this presentation include the technology required for a 'reliable system' for electronic wills under the Law Commission draft bill which is currently in Parliament.

Do you have a partner

For legal purposes, and for inheritance Tax allowances, a legal partner is your spouse (by marriage) or a civil partner recognised under the Civil Partnership Act.

Do you have any children?

For legal purposes, a child includes your biological children, adopted children, and step-children of your legal partner. Do not include biological children if adopted by someone else.

Let’s confirm your location so we can choose the right options for you.

We ask this so we can tailor our packages to suit your specific needs and situation.
