Will Writing Solicitors in London

Wills

A will, when planned effectively, ensures your assets and wealth are distributed as per your wishes and secures the future of the ones you love. Failure to make a will results in the law dividing your estate according to their rules of intestacy. These are fixed and may not reflect the way you wish for your wealth and assets to be distributed or reflect what is tax efficient.

Our experienced solicitors will assist you in deciding what service suits you best, ensure tax efficiency, and tailor your will in accordance with your unique circumstances.

Creating a Will

Sharia-Compliant Wills

A Sharia (Islamic) will is different from a traditional will as it adheres to the strict guidelines set down in Sharia law and integrates Islamic beliefs. It takes into account the notion of inheritance in Islam, which contains rules about how assets should be divided among beneficiaries according to their relationship to the deceased.

Our expert solicitors can help ensure your will is Sharia law-compliant and provide for your family in a way that is specially tailored to your faith.

Making Updates or Changing an Existing Will (Codicil)

Ensuring your will stays up to date is crucial to reflect your present circumstances and include all desired beneficiaries. It’s advisable to revisit your will every five years, particularly to accommodate any shifts in tax regulations that might impact you. Consider reviewing your will after significant life events such as marriage, divorce, births, and financial alterations, as these could affect your estate's value and tax liabilities.

Whether you opt for a codicil or write a new will depends on the extent and number of alterations needed. While a codicil suffices for minor changes, major changes often require the creation of a new will to prevent confusion. Lumine solicitors can sit down and discuss these options with you and offer guidance tailored to your situation and your loved ones' needs.

Contesting A Will

If you find yourself in a position where you are excluded from a will, receive less than anticipated, or believe the will contains errors, you may be entitled to challenge it. Whether you are the executor or someone who is set to benefit from the assets, our solicitors will support you in defending a will claim, as we understand it can’t be a complicated process.
