Islamic will advice for clients in Birmingham

MWG provides Islamic will advice to clients in Birmingham through remote appointments. Our Manchester-based team can discuss your wishes by telephone or video, helping you consider religious inheritance instructions alongside the legal requirements in England and Wales.

MWG’s Manchester office supports clients in Birmingham through remote appointments. Advice concerns England and Wales, with separate advice needed where another jurisdiction is involved.

If you own a business in Birmingham

A business interest needs more than a general reference to “all my assets”. Tell us whether you are a sole trader, partner or shareholder, and provide any partnership agreement, articles or shareholder agreement. Transfer restrictions and succession arrangements may affect what your will can achieve.

Consider who will manage the business during estate administration and how its value will be assessed. An executor may need professional help. Naming a family member as a beneficiary does not by itself give that person authority to run a company or use its bank account.

Separate personal assets from business assets

Make a list of what belongs to you personally and what belongs to a company or partnership. Include loans to or from the business, personal guarantees and relevant insurance arrangements. Accurate instructions help avoid gifting an asset you do not personally own.

Religious distribution wishes, the practical continuity of a business and the family’s immediate financial needs should be considered together. We will discuss the advice required rather than assume that one standard clause resolves every issue.

Remote instructions around work and family commitments

You can begin the process from Birmingham without travelling to Manchester. Ask about telephone or video appointments, the documents we need and how drafts will be supplied for review. We will confirm the appointment arrangements and scope before work proceeds.

If another adviser holds business or tax information, tell us at the outset. Any contact or document sharing with them should be agreed. Keeping the relevant information together can help make your drafting appointment more productive.

Your Islamic will: faith and legal requirements

Your religious inheritance wishes need to be considered alongside the legal requirements for a will. Family details, assets, liabilities and the religious guidance followed all matter. Our main Islamic wills guide to the service explains the scope, discretionary bequests, dependants and overseas issues.

Tell us about proposed executors, guardians, charity gifts and any existing wills. A will does not automatically control jointly owned assets, remove tax liabilities or prevent every potential claim. We will identify the issues to consider within the agreed scope.

How to instruct MWG remotely

Contact the team to explain what you need and any urgency. We will discuss suitability, client checks, the information required and the fees for the agreed work. Instructions can be taken by telephone or video, with drafts provided for review through the agreed arrangements.

Remote advice is separate from executing the will. Follow the signing and witnessing instructions for the final document; do not assume that e-signing or having witnesses on a video call is sufficient. Tell us about access, health or communication needs so appropriate arrangements can be discussed.

Frequently asked questions

Can my business simply be divided into Islamic shares?

The answer depends on the business structure, ownership and governing documents, as well as your religious instructions. Obtain advice before assuming the will can transfer or divide the interest in a particular way.

Do I need to travel to Manchester?

You can begin through a remote appointment. We will explain whether any aspect of your circumstances calls for an in-person meeting or another arrangement.

What does the service cost?

Fees depend on the agreed work and complexity. Ask for the scope, VAT position and any additional charges to be explained before proceeding.

Can the will reflect my religious guidance?

Explain the religious approach you wish to follow. Qualified scholarly advice may be needed where an interpretation needs clarification, alongside legal advice on the document.
