We are the experts for all cases

Will & Probate

At Edward Shaun Evans Law, we understand that planning for the future and dealing with the estate of a loved one can be sensitive and sometimes overwhelming. Our dedicated team provides clear, compassionate, and practical advice to guide you through every stage of wills and probate law.

Wills

A will is one of the most important documents you can prepare. It ensures your wishes are respected, your loved ones are protected, and your estate is managed according to your instructions. Without a valid will, your estate may be distributed under strict intestacy laws — which may not reflect your wishes.

We can help you:

Draft and update wills tailored to your circumstances. Appoint guardians for children. Create trusts to protect assets and minimise tax. Review existing wills to ensure they remain valid and up to date.

Probate

Probate is the legal process of dealing with someone’s estate after they die. It involves proving the will (if one exists), valuing the estate, paying debts and inheritance tax, and distributing assets to beneficiaries. If no will exists, the estate is handled under intestacy rules.

Our probate services include:

  • Applying for probate or letters of administration.

  • Handling HMRC requirements and inheritance tax.

  • Administering and distributing estates.

  • Resolving disputes between executors or beneficiaries.

Inheritance claim Law

At Edward Shaun Evans Law, we understand that inheritance disputes can be sensitive, emotional, and legally complex. Our role is to provide clear advice and strong representation to ensure your rights are protected.

An inheritance claim may arise if:

  • You have been unfairly left out of a will.

  • You believe a will is invalid due to undue influence, fraud, or lack of mental capacity.

  • The deceased died without leaving a will (intestate), and you are entitled under UK intestacy laws.

  • You are a spouse, child, dependant, or cohabitee who has not been reasonably provided for under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.

  • You wish to recover unclaimed estates, dormant accounts, or assets wrongly excluded from distribution.

How We Help You
Our specialist team will:

  • Assess your eligibility and explain your legal rights.

  • Guide you through the claim process with compassion and transparency.

  • Represent you in negotiations or court proceedings if required.

  • Work to resolve disputes efficiently, minimising stress and delays.

👉 If you believe you have been unfairly excluded or not properly provided for, Edward Shaun Evans Law is here to help you secure the inheritance you deserve.

Inheritance Tax Law

Inheritance Tax (IHT) is a tax charged on the estate — property, money, and possessions — of a person who has passed away. In the UK, IHT is generally 40% on estates valued above the current nil-rate band threshold, though many exemptions and reliefs are available to reduce or eliminate liability. Without careful planning, families may face large and unexpected tax bills that diminish the value of the estate.

At Edward Shaun Evans Law, we provide clear, practical advice to help you understand and manage inheritance tax. Our team can:

  • Explain how inheritance tax applies to your estate.

  • Advise on exemptions, reliefs, and planning tools such as trusts.

  • Assist with structuring your estate to minimise tax exposure.

  • Guide executors and administrators through HMRC reporting and compliance.

  • Protect family wealth so assets can be passed on efficiently and in line with your wishes.

Whether you are planning your own estate or dealing with the estate of a loved one, our role is to ensure compliance while helping you retain as much of your estate as possible for future generations.

👉 Let us help you plan ahead, reduce tax burdens, and safeguard your legacy.

Unclaimed Money

Every year, millions of pounds in bank accounts, investments, pensions, and insurance policies go unclaimed in the UK. This often happens when accounts become dormant, owners pass away without leaving clear instructions, or heirs are unaware of the assets left behind.

At Edward Shaun Evans Law, we specialise in tracing, recovering, and lawfully claiming unclaimed money. Our team can help you:

  • Search for and identify dormant or forgotten accounts.

  • Navigate the legal process of claiming unclaimed funds.

  • Assist heirs in recovering assets from estates where no will exists (intestacy).

  • Handle bona vacantia matters — estates or funds that would otherwise pass to the Crown.

With our expertise, you can be confident that no rightful inheritance or financial entitlement is left behind.

👉 If you suspect there may be unclaimed money owed to you or your family, contact us today for professional guidance.

Estate Planning 

Estate planning is about more than just writing a will — it is a comprehensive strategy to protect your assets, minimise tax liabilities, and ensure your wealth is passed on according to your wishes. Proper planning brings peace of mind, knowing that your loved ones will be cared for and your legacy preserved.

At Edward Shaun Evans Law, we provide tailored estate planning solutions to suit your personal and family circumstances. Our services include:

  • Drafting and updating wills.

  • Setting up trusts to protect assets and reduce tax exposure.

  • Inheritance tax planning and succession strategies.

  • Creating lasting powers of attorney for health and financial decisions.

  • Structuring ownership of property and family businesses.

Our goal is to simplify the process while protecting your wealth and ensuring compliance with UK law.

👉 Secure your future and protect your family’s inheritance with expert estate planning advice.
