We're proud to celebrate another achievement for our Wills and Probate team , who were named Will Writing Team of the Year at the Probate Industry Awards 2026 last night.

The awards recognises excellence across the wills and probate industry, celebrating firms and professionals who demonstrate outstanding client service, technical expertise and innovation.

A national recognition of excellence

Earlier this year, the team was shortlisted in a highly competitive category alongside leading firms from across the UK.

Winning Will Writing Team of the Year is a clear endorsement of the team’s commitment to delivering high-quality, tailored legal advice to clients at every stage of their lives. It reflects not only their technical expertise, but also a consistent focus on providing clear, practical support when it matters most.

Putting clients at the heart of everything

Switalskis Wills and Probate team is known for its approachable, jargon-free advice and for supporting clients through complex, often sensitive matters.

From straightforward Will writing through to complex estate planning, the team works closely with individuals and families to ensure their wishes are clearly set out and legally robust. This includes advising on trusts , inheritance tax planning and the needs of blended families or vulnerable beneficiaries.

This client-focused approach is reflected in strong client feedback and long-standing relationships, with many clients returning for further advice or recommending the team to their families.

Innovation in modern estate planning

The award also recognises the team’s forward-thinking approach to Will writing. As people’s lives become increasingly digital, estate planning must adapt.

Our Wills and Probate team has continued to evolve their services to reflect this, supporting clients with planning for digital assets such as online accounts, cryptocurrencies and digital subscriptions.

By combining traditional legal expertise with modern considerations, the team ensures clients’ estates are fully protected both now and in the future.

A commitment beyond legal advice

The team’s work extends beyond its day-to-day legal services. The team regularly supports community initiatives, including providing pro bono will-writing services for hospices and participating in awareness campaigns such as Dying Matters Week.

This commitment reflects a wider ethos of making legal support accessible and supporting those who need it most.

Looking ahead

Winning the Will Writing Team of the Year is a proud moment for everyone at Switalskis. It highlights the dedication, care and professionalism of the Wills and Probate team, and their ongoing commitment to delivering the highest standard of service.

As the team looks ahead, the focus remains the same: helping clients protect what matters most, with clear advice, practical solutions and a genuinely supportive approach.
