Administration of Estates Act 1925
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
7 Executor of executor represents original testator.
(1) An executor of a sole or last surviving executor of a testator is the executor of that testator. This provision shall not apply to an executor who does not prove the will of his testator, and, in the case of an executor who on his death leaves surviving him some other executor of his testator who afterwards proves the will of that testator, it shall cease to apply on such probate being granted. (2) So long as the chain of such representation is unbroken, the last executor in the chain is the executor of every preceding testator. (3) The chain of such representation is broken by— (a) an intestacy; or (b) the failure of a testator to appoint an executor; or (c) the failure to obtain probate of a will; but is not broken by a temporary grant of administration if probate is subsequently granted. (4) Every person in the chain of representation to a testator— (a) has the same rights in respect of the real and personal estate of that testator as the original executor would have had if living; and (b) is, to the extent to which the estate whether real or personal of that testator has come to his hands, answerable as if he were an original executor.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
