This is the edition 1 list of topics. Once someone has chosen a topic, they will put their name and chosen topic in a new post. Please choose a topic from the available ones. If you are unable to write an article for the remaining topics, for whatever reason, please email the magazine with a reason why and we will try to accommodate you as best we can. We realise people will have different specialisms, and we do not want topics written with the best intentions, but with no experience or only a very basic knowledge. Thank you!

If you have general questions, please use the contributor blog:

For general questions please use this blog: www.willandprobatemagazine.co.uk/blog2.html
However, two weeks is fine to reply by and there are no maximum or minimum words. Please use your judgement to create an article that is accurate, interesting (where possible!) and informative. Remember that people may contact you directly because you have written a good article!

Hi Michael - wrong post to put this but no problems! If there are articles on a particular subject already, then further articles will look at that topic in more detail or in a different way. I will try to put extra comments on how the article should be presented which will help you all I think. Thank you for the comment.

Hi Michael - thanks for your comments. It might not be clear immediately what yiu need to do, so the best thing is to click on the latest archives date on the right hand column and that should take you to the latest posts. Look forward to your article!

Nothing can be added until the weekend at the moment from anyone so please check back on Monday for the updated articles and your own contributor page.
