Islamic Wills Solicitors in Leicester

Are you in search of Islamic wills solicitors in Leicester? Having a Last Will and Testament that reflects your wishes and is legally binding under both UK law and Shari’a is essential for all devout, prudent British Muslims.

If you die without a Will that is valid under UK Law, you are deemed to have died ‘intestate’ and your estate – savings, property, belongings investments, etc. – will be divided under intestacy rules.

Unfortunately for devout Muslims, intestacy rules in the UK apply different criteria to those laid down by the Shari’a, and any Islamic wills (Wassiyah) need to respect UK law to be recognised as valid.

Our specialist team can help you write and ratify an Islamic will that is valid under UK law and in keeping with the principles of Shari’a.
