We provide professionally drafted, legally valid Islamic Wills that honour your religious obligations under Sharia law while being fully enforceable in the English legal system. As specialist Islamic Wills Solicitors in London, we bridge the gap between your faith and the law, ensuring your legacy is distributed as you intend, with peace and certainty.
The Importance of a UK Sharia-Compliant Will
In the UK, the default inheritance rules do not recognise the distribution principles of Sharia law. Without a valid Will, your estate will be distributed according to the rules of intestacy, which may not reflect your Islamic faith. Our service as expert UK Islamic Wills Solicitors ensures:
- Your assets are distributed in accordance with Sharia principles.
- You fulfil your religious duty (Fardh) to have a Will.
- You avoid your heirs facing lengthy and stressful legal complications.
- You appoint righteous and capable Executors (Wasi) to administer your estate.
