NEW: The Sentencing Act 2026 has brought in several important changes to the Bail Act 1976, all aimed at reducing the number of people held on remand. These changes will have a real impact on how courts make decisions on bail, particularly for those facing lower‑level offences or at risk of short custodial sentences. Find out more:

It's week which is a timely reminder to review your will and ensure it reflects your current wishes.
Many people forget to update their will when a major life event occurs such as marriage, divorce or birth of children or grandchildren.
Meet our wills team and take a look at our video and FAQs here: https://www.davidgray.co.uk/services/wills-solicitors/

Did you recently get divorced, married, become a parent or sell a house?

If this is you, you need to make sure your will is up to date. We recommend that wills are reviewed and updated every five years, or after major life events occur.

Find more information on wills and why it’s worth reviewing them regularly, here: https://www.lifetimelawyers.org.uk/Public/Resources/Campaigns/Update-Your-Will-Week-2026.aspx
