The States Assembly is aware that simplification and accessibility should not be at the cost of safeguards against abuses of LPAs, and recommends <a href=\"https:\/\/advisingfamilies.org\/find-a-tep\/\">taking professional advice<\/a> for anyone creating one.<\/p>\n<h2>Making a will on behalf of someone else (a statutory will)<\/h2>\n<p>For the first time, statutory wills are now available in Jersey. The island\u2019s Royal Court now has the power to direct that a will may be executed on behalf of a person lacking testamentary capacity. However, any such applications to the Royal Court cannot include immovable property outside the island, such as a home in England.<\/p>\n<h2>Execution of documents<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the Capacity Law, the Signing Law has also come into effect.<\/p>\n<p>The Signing Law is the result of uncertainty in Jersey law concerning the effectiveness of signatures put to documents on behalf of physically incapacitated persons.<\/p>\n<p>The new law ensures that vulnerable islanders, by reason of physical incapacity, are not deprived of their rights and will ensure that they can execute wills, powers of attorney, LPAs and <span class=\"tooltips \" style=\"\" title=\"A written sworn statement of fact voluntarily under an oath or affirmation administered by a person authorised to do so by law\">affidavits<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>These developments will empower the vulnerable in the island\u2019s population and those who support them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.step.org\/advising-families\/directory\/members\/miss-donna-withers-0038000000gio4laau\"><strong><em>Donna Withers TEP is Head of Probate and Wills at Bedell Cristin, Jersey<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/advisingfamilies.org\/uk\/information-portal\/family-matters\/new-laws-to-protect-the-vulnerable-in-jersey\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Laws that protect vulnerable people in Jersey&url=https:\/\/advisingfamilies.org\/uk\/information-portal\/family-matters\/new-laws-to-protect-the-vulnerable-in-jersey\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Jersey, two laws brought into force in recent years have radically changed the approach to estate planning for vulnerable people.
