Writing your own Will – is it valid?

When you think about a Will or estate planning, people often assume it’s something only the elderly consider. The recently reported case of ‘The Wanted’ singer Max George (‘Max’) has again highlighted that everyone should consider if their affairs are in order regardless of their age. Max was aged just 36 when he opened up about his fear of his own mortality, having been admitted to hospital for heart surgery to fit a pacemaker in December 2024. During January 2025, social media was buzzing with reports, including the BBC[1] and Sky News[2], that the singer had made a Will on his phone. This fear and panic spurred him into action but it raises the question: would Max’s mobile phone Will have been legally valid?
