Wills & probate — frequently asked questions
Can you help with Islamic inheritance alongside a standard will?
Yes — we regularly draft wills that combine UK legal requirements with Islamic inheritance principles.
Do I need a solicitor to write a will?
It is not a legal requirement, but a will is a complex legal document. A poorly drafted will can be invalid or cause disputes. A solicitor ensures your wishes are clear, legally binding, and tax-efficient.
Do you handle probate for estates that do not need an Islamic will?
Yes — our probate service is available for any estate, not only where an Islamic will is involved.
What does probate cost?
See our fees page for typical probate costs, including the government fees that apply separately.
How long does probate usually take?
It depends on the size and complexity of the estate — we will give a realistic estimate once we understand what is involved. See our fees page for more detail.
