The Law Wizard aims to build online tools that make it easier, cheaper and more convenient for members of the public to perform legal tasks and to improve access to legal services. Our first product, The Probate Wizard, is a “do it yourself” probate assistant (probate is the legal process that takes place after death).The Probate Wizard is accessed through our website, www.thelawwizard.com. For consumers who wish to bypass a solicitor or other probate professional, it offers an easy and reliable way to conduct the probate process.The aim of our project is to analyse the potential for integrating professional probate services with The Probate Wizard, offering a more comprehensive service and better access to professional legal support.The system will enable users of The Probate Wizard to connect with probate professionals, such as solicitors, accountants and independent financial advisers. For these professionals, the system will add value to their existing probate services and offer new and better ways to market to – and connect with – potential clients.The project will benefit the public as it will improve access to legal services. In particular, it will make it easier for the public to perform the probate process online with professional support. Probate is a common and vital process, and members of the public often do not know where to start. By marrying a unique self-service tool with professional expertise, our project will service the increasing demands for a more convenient, cost-effective probate solution.Beyond probate, the project will indicate whether such a system has a role to play in improving access to legal services in other areas of law.

“法律向导”旨在建立在线工具，使公众更容易、更便宜、更方便地执行法律的任务，并改善获得法律的服务的机会。我们的第一个产品，遗嘱认证向导，是一个“自己做”遗嘱认证助理（遗嘱认证是法律的过程，发生在死亡后）。遗嘱认证向导是通过我们的网站访问，www.thelawwizard.com。对于那些希望绕过律师或其他遗嘱认证专业人士的消费者来说，它提供了一个简单可靠的方法来进行遗嘱认证过程。我们的项目的目的是分析将专业遗嘱认证服务与遗嘱认证向导整合的潜力，提供更全面的服务和更好的获得专业法律的支持。该系统将使遗嘱认证向导的用户能够与遗嘱认证专业人士联系，例如律师、会计师和独立财务顾问。对这些专业人士来说，该系统将为他们现有的遗嘱认证服务增值，并提供新的和更好的方式向潜在客户进行营销和与潜在客户建立联系。该项目将使公众受益，因为它将改善获得法律的服务的机会。特别是，它将使公众更容易在专业支持下在线执行遗嘱认证过程。遗嘱认证是一个常见和重要的过程，公众往往不知道从哪里开始。通过将独特的自助服务工具与专业知识相结合，我们的项目将满足日益增长的对更方便，更具成本效益的遗嘱认证解决方案的需求。除了遗嘱认证，该项目还将表明这种系统是否在改善其他法律领域的法律的服务方面发挥作用。
