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 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

4 months agoChloe Jay helped my son when he got into bother. She was efficient, professional and knowledgable, but also very approachable. I felt able to ring and speak with her when needed, (obviously she asked my son if he was happy for me to speak on his bahalf). Thank you Chloe for making us feel supported in a difficult situation. I''d also like to mention Shae who was also very knowledgeable and approachable when I couldn't speak to Chloe. I would recommend Chloe to anyone for criminal legal representation.Posted on Google

11 months agoMichelle and team at Shentons were brilliant at handling our property purchase. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them. The quality of work and service was excellent, Michelle is on the ball and responsive to emails, she pushed the other side and made sure we were comfortable and informed at every step. Despite being thrown some curve balls Michelle remained calm, and dealt with all of them in an efficient but thorough manner. From quote to completion everything her and her team did was excellent, and in line with the estimate given which for first time buyers allowed us to budget without fear of massive final bill. It’s nice to know what you are getting into. And finally to top it off they are all lovely approachable people that I wouldn’t hesitate to trust with such a big purchase or sale going forward. If you want the job done properly I wouldn’t use any other firm.Posted on Google
