Like the set of second cousins we helped. At risk of falling-out due to stalling inheritance distribution for two years. A husband and wife – themselves first cousins – died within 7-days of each other of Covid. Both had written into their Wills that the wife’s brother would act ax executor. As he was part of the siblings who stood to gain most from following the wishes of the husband – albeit his sister did not outlast her husband by more than 30-days – they sought a neutral opinion from a barrister who had studied the inheritance distribution under the religion of Islam requested by the Husband, but also an expert in English law. Having specialist knowledge of Court expert procedure (drafting the rules) & having fought conflicts-of-interest in Court, we sourced a Society for Trusts & Estate Practitioners qualified Shariah council expert. Hosting both sides before finalising a joint report, both were satisfied with the neutrality and expertise of the final end product. And Court proceedings over a £600k-estate was averted for an affordable fixed-fee. Something taking less than one month and a cost was paid for by the estate and cost c150-times less than what one of two half-sisters ended up having to spend for fighting over a £300k-estate in a similar case.

if don’t act in next four months to take advantage of a change to the law to how wills are executed: “The legislation will apply to wills made since 31 January 2020, the date of the first registered Covid-19 case in England and Wales, except:

· cases where a Grant of Probate has already been issued in respect of the deceased person

· the application is already in the process of being administered

The legislation will apply to wills made up to two years from when the legislation comes into force (so until 31 January 2022), however this can be shortened or extended if deemed necessary, in line with the approach adopted for other coronavirus legislative measures. The advice remains that where people can make wills in the conventional way they should continue to do so
