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.
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.

7 months agoI highly recommend Hannah Adams and the team at Shentons. They were all incredibly kind, patient and really listened to the details of our particular situation. We were seen quickly, which was very important for us due to EHCP Tribunal deadlines. The expertise and depth of information we recieved in meetings and reports was invaluable. It also allowed me to proceed with clarity and confidence, where I had previously felt lost in the vast amount of very subject specific paperwork which had been sent to us. We followed Hannah's advice when looking for other professionals to assess our child and gain the relevant reports. We also followed up on a possible area of need she identified, resulting in a new diagnosis and subsequent support from the NHS. I am incredibly happy to say my child is enjoying his second week at our chosen school, something the LA finally agreed to after nearly a year of fighting but 5+ months before our court date. Our child is now in a setting which will support him for the next 7.5 years.Posted on Google

8 months agoShentons helped me through a really difficult time in my life when I was locked in a legal battle with my old partner about our joint house. I am so grateful for Shentons' excellent counsel, efficiency and human touch. I did get a great outcome in the end which has meant I can be free and financially secure again.Posted on Google

11 months 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
