<p>In 2013 the Legal Services Board (LSB) recommended that will writing be made a

other measures had been sufficiently exhausted in seeking to address these problems.
This remains the Government position.</p><p> </p><p>We will consider any recommendations
from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) when they publish their Legal Services
