Congratulations to our Wills and Probate Team have been shortlisted for Will Writing Team of the Year at the Probate Industry Awards 2026.
Losing a loved one is always difficult, and dealing with legal and financial matters at the same time can feel overwhelming. But what happens if someone dies and they didn’t have a will? Understanding what happens next can help families feel more prepared and avoid unnecessary disputes or delays.
Liam Payne, former One Direction star passed away last year, leaving an estate worth more than £24 million – but no will.
Congratulations to Alice Critchlow in our Wills and Probate team who has been shortlisted for a prestigious award.
