Wills & Probate Solicitors in London
At Evalen Law Solicitors, we offer expert legal advice on will writing, estate planning, and probate administration. Whether you’re putting your affairs in order or managing a loved one’s estate, we provide clear, compassionate support tailored to your needs.
Will Writing Services
Creating a valid will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your family and your legacy. Our will writing solicitors in London offer a comprehensive, fixed-fee service that ensures your wishes are respected and your estate is passed on according to your instructions.
​
Why Make a Will?
A professionally drafted will allows you to:
​
-
Decide how your estate is distributed
-
Appoint trusted executors
-
Provide for children, dependents, or vulnerable relatives
-
Reduce the risk of family disputes
-
Minimise inheritance tax liabilities
-
Leave gifts to charities or causes you care about
Without a will, your estate will be dealt with under intestacy laws, which may not reflect your wishes and can lead to complications for your loved ones.
The Will Writing Process
​We guide you through every step:
​
-
Identifying your assets – including property, savings, pensions, and belongings
-
Naming beneficiaries – individuals, organisations, or charities
-
Appointing executors – to carry out your wishes
-
Drafting your will – legally sound and tailored to your needs
-
Signing and storing – we ensure proper execution and can offer secure storage
Updating Your Will
You should review your will after key life events such as:
​
-
Marriage or divorce
-
Birth of a child or grandchild
-
Acquiring new assets or property
-
Changes in inheritance law
-
Death of a named executor or beneficiary
We’ll help you revise and update your existing will to reflect your current wishes.
Probate & Estate Administration
If you’ve lost a loved one, dealing with probate can feel overwhelming. Our probate solicitors in London are here to ease the burden by handling the legal and administrative process with efficiency and sensitivity.
​
What Is Probate?
Probate is the legal process of managing and distributing a deceased person’s estate. If there is a valid will, the executor applies for a Grant of Probate. If not, an administrator applies for Letters of Administration.
Executor Duties and Support
We support you through every stage, including:
​
-
Applying for probate or letters of administration
-
Identifying and valuing estate assets (property, accounts, pensions, personal belongings)
-
Settling debts, taxes, and liabilities
-
Distributing assets to beneficiaries
-
Ensuring full legal compliance throughout
Inheritance Tax Advice
At Evalen Law, we provide legal guidance on the inheritance tax (IHT) implications of your will and estate, including available exemptions such as the nil-rate band, residence nil-rate band, and spousal or charitable reliefs. We can also assist with completing IHT forms as part of the probate process.
Where appropriate, we may advise you to consult a regulated tax or financial adviser for more complex inheritance tax planning or investment-related matters.
Disputes Over Wills & Estates
Disagreements over wills, executors, or inheritance can be painful and complex. Our contentious probate solicitors handle disputes with professionalism, compassion, and a focus on early resolution.
​
Common Disputes Include:​
-
Claims that a will is invalid (e.g., undue influence, lack of capacity)
-
Claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975
-
Disputes between beneficiaries and executors
-
Allegations of executor misconduct or mismanagement
We aim to resolve disputes efficiently through negotiation, mediation, or, where necessary, court proceedings.
