Wills & Probate

We all like to think we are in control of our affairs and every day finances. Making a Will gives you the same peace of mind because it makes clear your final wishes. It is also an important caring gesture to your family and friends, relieving them of possible worry about what to do for the best, when you are no longer there to help.

Here at Regal Law Solicitors we use the latest computer technology which allows the necessary documents to be produced quickly and accurately.

There are many reasons for making a Will including:

• I have just got married
• I have children who would need to be looked after if I die
• I am not married to my partner
• I have recently divorced or will be doing so soon
• I own property
• I own all or part of a business
• I have come into money
• I think I may have to pay Inheritance Tax

When you make a Will you can decide

• The Executors who will sort out your affairs
• Who will care for your children if they are aged under 18
• Who will receive heirlooms or other specific items of property
• Who will receive the rest of your money and upon what conditions
• Cremation or burial, and if you wish to donate organs for transplant

We offer a fixed fee for most straightforward Wills and realistic estimates if you need more complex advice.

Shari'ah Compliant Wills:

In the Islamic context, the distributions are not at the discretion of the individual; rather, they are dictated in detail in the Qur’an and Hadith.  Therefore, under Shariah law every individual’s estate would automatically be distributed in accordance with the rules outlined in the Qur’an and Hadith.

A carefully drafted Islamic will is most likely to be given full force and effect in The United Kingdom, so long as it complies with the various statutory requirements of a properly drafted will.  Despite the large disparity between English Law and Shariah inheritance laws, the courts of England and Wales give an individual the freedom to carry out his or her intentions after death.  As a result, Muslims in England and Wales have the freedom to fulfill their obligations under Shari'ah law in the distribution of their property after their death so long as they ensure they are in compliance with the laws of their jurisdiction, a step that is easily carried out with the assistance of Regal Law Solicitors.
