A will ensures your assets, including money, property, and belongings, are distributed according to your wishes after you die. Without one, they’re allocated based on intestacy rules, which may not reflect your preferences. A will also helps prevent potential disputes between family members. For professional guidance and peace of mind, contact us, and we will connect you with the best solicitors in London to draft a will tailored to your needs.
When you die without a will, your estate is distributed according to government rules, which may exclude your loved ones. Dying “intestate” can also be a lengthy and stressful process for your family. Children, unmarried partners, and charities may be particularly disadvantaged and receive nothing. Our experienced London solicitors can help you avoid these issues by drafting a clear, legally binding will.
While it’s possible to write a will yourself, a solicitor ensures it is legally valid and comprehensive. This can prevent disputes or challenges later. Professional advice is particularly important for complex estates, trusts, or international assets. Reach us for expert solicitors in London who can draft a clear and enforceable will.
Probate is the legal process of confirming a will and distributing the estate. It ensures debts are paid and assets are transferred according to the deceased’s wishes. Without probate, banks and institutions may refuse to release funds. Our solicitors in London can guide you through the entire probate process efficiently and professionally.
Probate usually takes several months, depending on the estate’s size and complexity. Delays can happen if there are disputes, multiple assets, or international matters. A professional solicitor can help speed up the process and reduce stress. Contact us in London for expert guidance to make probate as smooth as possible.
