A Law Firm For Life

Modern life is becoming increasingly international. This means that owning assets in more than one country is becoming more common.

With Irwin Mitchell’s experience of international will-writing, we can offer you all the advice and support you need.

Experts In International Wills

If you own assets in more than one country, you may need more than one will. You should also take great care to make sure that one does not invalidate the other.

We write wills in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and have been writing wills elsewhere in the world for many years.

Due to the diverse nature of our firm, we have connections in many overseas countries and foreign jurisdictions. We also have an office in the south of Spain at the heart of the ex-pat community.

State-of-the-art will drafting technology coupled with an in-depth understanding of your needs and expectations, allows us to provide you with expert will advice internationally - whatever your requirements. Our services include:

  • A specialist and dedicated Will writing team
  • Bespoke face-to-face meetings
  • Specialist tax advice
  • Postal service
  • Telephone service and on-line capability
  • Dedicated helpline and e-mail contact
  • Advice on the management of estates after death
  • A national and international presence
  • A simple fixed-fee service (with the exception of very complex matters)

Unlike many overseas lawyers, as a member of the Law Society we have the appropriate insurance cover in place, providing you with extra peace of mind.

Will Mediation Leads To Satisfactory Conclusion

Will Mediation

Our client's husband of some twenty years died.  By his will he left her £100,000 absolutely, left a sum of money on trust to be used for the benefit of our client and the deceased's adult sons of his first marriage at the discretion of trustees and left the balance of his estate to the sons.  The main asset of the estate was the farm which had provided the deceased and our client with their main income for many years.  The couple's matrimonial home was a bungalow in close proximity to the farm which had already been transferred to our client's outright ownership.  The adult sons wished to live at the farm and farm it themselves and our client was extremely anxious to move away from the farm and purchase an alternative property to live in.

A mediation of our client's claim for financial provision under the provisions of the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 took place.  Although a final settlement was not reached on the day, the mediation was the occasion on which the sons realised that our client's claim was justified and realised that in order to provide for our client they would have to raise money by mortgaging the farm.  It was therefore possible for a settlement to be reached soon afterwards whereby the absolute provision for our client was increased significantly from the £100,000 left by the will in order to meet our client's need for income and our client was able to move away from the former matrimonial home and the farm.
