Why choose Askews to advise on a will or probate matter?

Wills and Probate is a very specialised area, where the difference between average and excellent advice could save you and your beneficiaries a great deal of time and money and upset.

Our Wills and Probate team have the expertise and experience that you need, and we continue to invest in their training and development to make sure that the advice you receive is always up-to-date.

The importance of avoiding the rules of intestacy

If someone passes away intestate, it means they have died without having made a will. This means the rules of intestacy will dictate the beneficiaries and this rarely aligns with the deceased wishes; co-habiting partners and step-children would be excluded, and estranged family members might receive a share.

In cases where there are no surviving relatives, the estate passes to the Crown.
