- The total value of your Estate exceeds £1 million.
- You are a business owner.
- You or your spouse have children from a previous marriage.
- You have made substantial gifts (over £3,000 in any tax year) to individuals or Trusts.
- You were born outside of the UK or possess assets and land outside of the UK.
- Your intended beneficiaries require protection for their inheritance.
- You are a beneficiary of a Trust.
To ensure you make an informed decision aligned with your specific needs, we encourage you to reach out to our experienced team. Our experts will attentively listen to your wishes and present you with a range of options for your next steps.
Types of Wills
There are a number of different Wills available, each one with their own characteristics:
Single Wills – suitable if you are not in a relationship setting out your personal wishes
Mirror Wills – suitable for couples who share similar wishes
Trust Wills – suitable for those who are either single, or with a partner or spouse, and whose affairs are complex or whose assets or family circumstances require that a degree of protection is desirable
Religious Wills – We will work with you to ensure that the Will we draft will be compliant to your individual religious beliefs.
Sharia Compliant Islamic Wills – In Islamic tradition, the laws of inheritance, as derived from the Quran and Sunnah, outline specific guidelines for distribution. It is crucial to understand that without a valid Islamic Will, your Estate will not be distributed according to these laws, and you will be unable to leave a Wasiyya. The Wasiyya represents the portion, up to one-third of your Estate, that you can allocate to individuals who do not automatically inherit under Islamic inheritance laws.
At our firm, we work alongside Islamic scholars who will review your Will and ensure that your Islamic Will adheres to the strict Shariah principles.
Allow us to assist you in preparing your Islamic Will, ensuring compliance with Shariah principles.
