    This area covers how marriage or civil partnership affects wills, executries and what happens to a person’s assets when they marry. A solicitor helps plan and update wills, deal with remarriage provisions, and address spouse and partner rights on death, including lifetime interests and trusts. They also navigate how divorce or dissolution changes those rights, ensure executors and guardians are appointed correctly, and advise on registration and probate procedures in England and Wales.

    “We were very impressed with the whole setup of Sweeney Miller and especially with Faraz who was friendly and professional also. The costs were discussed before the process started and didn't change throughout. The process of making the will was explained from the start and was straightforward. In the final meeting, Faraz explained the will point by point and we were in no doubt about matters.”
