Our team are experienced in handling a broad range of Wills, that include but aren’t limited to:
Crafting a well-structured and legally sound Will is crucial to ensure your wishes are honoured after your passing. Our solicitors will work closely with you to identify the right type of Will for your needs, and write a Will that reflects your intentions and safeguards your assets.
From simple or mirror Wills to Trust, we can help.
A Statutory Will is a Will made by the Court of Protection on behalf of someone who is unable to make one themselves because they lack the required mental capacity. Our team of solicitors in both our London and Cambridge offices are experts in this field, and can assist with statutory Will applications to ensure that the proposed Will aligns with the best interests of the individual.
Disputes over wills can be emotionally charged. Whether you’re challenging a Will or defending its validity, our solicitors provide strategic advice and representation.
When you feel unfairly excluded from an inheritance, our team of solicitors can help you explore your options under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975. We strive to achieve a fair resolution for all parties involved.
A beneficiary is an individual designated to receive assets, property, or benefits from a Will, trust, insurance policy, or other financial arrangement upon the death of an individual.
When questions arise about an individual’s mental capacity at the time of making a Will, our solicitors can provide you with expert advice to help you understand your options, and should further action be required, we can assist you by providing legal representation.
Contentious Probate is a wide-ranging term and includes any dispute involving a deceased’s estate.

You should aim to update your Will at least every five years, to ensure that it reflects the current state of your estate. You should also update it after any significant life event that affects you or your beneficiaries, such as:
You can change your Will with a ‘Codicil’. This is a legal document that allows you to make changes to an existing Will without having to go through the entire process of rewriting your will. If you need to change an existing Will, reach out to our team today and we will be happy to help talk you through the process in more detail.
In our opinion, yes, it is better to make a Will with the expert support of a solicitor. Making a Will without a solicitor can result in mistakes or something not being as clear in your Will as it needs to be. The executor of your estate and any beneficiaries may have to sort out and pay for any legal costs associated with these errors, which can reduce the amount left in your estate.
If you are concerned about how much a Will costs, you can read our full guide here.
Yes, you can change your Will without letting the executor know. However, if you are considering changing your Will, you are generally advised to let the executor know. This ensures there is no confusion when your Will is read and reduces the likelihood that your Will is contested.
