Welcome to Alstern SolicitorsAt Alstern Solicitors, our experienced Wills and Probate solicitors help you protect your assets, ensure your wishes are respected and provide security for your dependants - while minimising the risk of future conflict. We simplify even the most complex matters, guiding you with clarity, care and confidence at every stage.

Protect your family, your wishes and your legacy

Making a Will is not simply about deciding who should receive your assets. It is also an opportunity to provide clarity for your family and reduce the number of difficult decisions they may otherwise face at a time of loss.

Without a valid Will, an estate may be distributed under the intestacy rules rather than according to the wishes of the person who has died. Planning ahead can provide reassurance today and help reduce uncertainty for loved ones in the future.

True 5-star review

Lani and the team must have aged a few years after supporting my case so much. Alstern Solicitor successfully helped me get ILR without having to wait for the full 5 years and probate in just 1 day instead of having to wait 6-9 months. In addition, I also received enthusiastic support and answers to questions from Trang and Hang even though I always texted outside of working hours. In addition, I appreciate Lani and Trang's thoughtfulness, who reassured me during my recent mental crisis. Love you ❤️

Frequently asked questions

Do you need further assistance?

Do I need a Will?

A Will gives you legal control over how your money, property, and possessions are distributed after your death. It allows you to appoint executors, protect loved ones, and reduce the risk of disputes. Without a valid Will, your estate is governed by intestacy rules, which may not reflect your wishes or be tax-efficient.

Who can contest a Will?

Certain individuals - such as spouses, civil partners, dependants, or those named in a previous Will - may challenge a Will if they believe it is invalid or unfair. Claims may also arise due to lack of capacity, undue influence, or drafting errors.

What happens if someone dies without a Will?

If there is no Will, the estate is distributed under intestacy rules, which can exclude unmarried partners or others you intended to benefit. It may also increase inheritance tax and lead to disputes. In such cases, a Grant of Letters of Administration is usually required.

What does a Wills and Probate solicitor do?

Wills and Probate solicitors advise on estate planning, drafts legally valid Wills, sets up trusts, applies for probate, administers estates, and resolves inheritance disputes. Their role is to protect your wishes, your family, and your legacy.

Who will deal with my case?

Your case will be handled by qualified UK wills, trusts, estate & tax planning and probate solicitors with proven experience in cases like yours.
