Securing your family’s future starts with a well-crafted Will. Our expert team can help ensure that your wishes are followed, from who inherits your assets to planning the care of your dependents.
Meet the Wills & Probate legal team
A well considered Will gives you peace of mind that your wishes will be followed and your family’s future is secure. Our expert team walk you through the process to ensure that your resulting Will is bespoke to your needs. Making a Will enables you to take control.
There is a common misconception that only elderly or wealthy people need Wills, this is untrue. Having a well written, up to date Will doesn’t just dictate how your possessions and money are distributed upon your death, here are our top three benefits:
Supporting your Loved Ones – When you pass away without a Will, your family can be faced with overwhelming bureaucracy and arrangements. Writing a thorough Will can give them guidance and alleviate some stress.
Look after your Dependents – if you have children under 18 or vulnerable adults who you support you can make arrangements to ensure they are well cared for.
Charitable Giving – Donating to charity in your Will has two major benefits, supporting an important cause and in some cases, reducing the Inheritance Tax burden on your estate.
Our Wills and Probate Department are a member of the Wills and Inheritance Quality Scheme and some of our Lawyers have additional, professional qualifications with STEP, the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners which enables them to give specialist advice, bespoke to your matter.

a month agoShentons have provided my son with brilliant support throughout a court case. From very first contact, we have had an amazing and highly professional defence. Call backs have always happened when scheduled, the lawyers have been clear, realistic and honest about outcomes. In court support has been reassuring and we felt that the very best defence was prepared and delivered. The barrister appointed was also outstanding and did a wonderful job on both court appearances. My son, the defendent, has learning disabilities/ autism. This was taken into consideration ideation throughout and he was treated with kindness and empathy. We are so grateful for the care and support that we have received. I cannot recommend Shentons more highly.Posted on Google

a month agoI can't recommend this solicitor highly enough. From start to finish, they were extremely professional, always available to answer my questions, and provided me with much-needed peace of mind during a stressful time. Chloe, was fantastic — she was incredibly reassuring, took the time to understand exactly what I was going through, and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. I truly trusted her to handle everything, and she exceeded my expectations. If you need reliable and empathetic legal support, look no further!Posted on Google

5 months agoI was referred to Shentons by a friend and have used Patrick Hunter in my dealings with my house, wills and POA. Patrick's service to me was unquestionable. He was professional, knowledgeable, conscientious and very kind. He kept me up to date every step of the way with my business. Nothing was to much trouble for him at all. I would not hesitate to use Patrick and the firm if I had any problems and I would definitely recommend him and the firm to my friends and family.Posted on Google
