I Will Solicitors

What I Will Solicitors does

I Will Solicitors is a niche UK solicitors firm established in 2007 that specializes in private client legal services with a strong focus on Shariah-compliant Islamic estate planning. The firm primarily serves the UK's Muslim community, addressing a market gap in which an estimated 90% of UK Muslims over 18 lack a Will and face unique challenges reconciling Islamic inheritance rules with English intestacy law. Beyond its Islamic Wills practice, the firm serves the broader UK population with general Will writing, inheritance tax planning, trusts, probate, deputieships and powers of attorney services, and also advises charities on registration and governance matters.

The firm's service portfolio centers on Islamic Wills that incorporate Wasiyya (up to one-third of the estate for non-inheriting beneficiaries), guardianship rights, and Shariah-compliant asset distribution. Underpinning the practice is a proprietary digital product described as the world's first Islamic Inheritance App, launched in 2013 and available on iOS and Android, which provides a free calculator for distributing estates according to Quran and Sunnah rules. The firm is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), holds full STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) membership, and engages an independent Shariah consultant, Mufti Faraz Adam of Amanah Finance Consultancy, to certify its Islamic Wills as Shariah compliant.

The business operates on a professional services, quote-based pricing model with no publicly disclosed fee schedules, supplemented by free 45-minute initial video consultations and free Will clinics held at mosques and community venues nationwide. Distribution is multi-channel: direct office consultations at the Birmingham (Erdington) headquarters, video call consultations enabling national reach across England and Wales, online questionnaires for self-serve lead capture, and a referral network built through partnerships with mosques, Islamic charities and community organizations. In February 2023 the firm was acquired by Wahed, a values-based financial investment company, in a seven-figure transaction, with stated intent to integrate Will-writing into Wahed's broader app-based financial platform alongside pensions and savings; the firm continues to trade under its existing brand within Wahed Group.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Farewill: UK digital-first Will-writing and probate service known for low fixed-fee online Wills. Competes with I Will Solicitors for the broader UK Will-writing market; less Shariah-specific but applies price and convenience pressure across the segment.
• True Wills: Pioneering online Islamic will-writing service in the UK, acquired by Wahed alongside I Will Solicitors in February 2023. Closest direct peer — same Shariah-compliant niche, same customer segment, complementary online delivery model.
• Beyond (formerly Guardian Will & Estate Planning): UK online Will-writing and estate planning service offering fixed-fee Wills and LPAs. Competes for price-sensitive UK Will customers alongside I Will Solicitors' general (non-Islamic) service line.
• National Will Safe: UK Will storage and writing service provider. Overlaps with I Will Solicitors' Will storage and general Will-writing offerings, although without the Shariah-compliance specialism.

Broad incumbents

• Irwin Mitchell: Major UK full-service law firm with a substantial Private Wealth practice covering Wills, trusts, IHT planning, and estates. Comparable for I Will Solicitors' non-Islamic Will and IHT services aimed at the general UK population.
• Slater and Gordon: Large UK national law firm offering private client services including Wills, trusts, and probate. A broad incumbent whose general Will-writing practice competes for the same general-UK-population segment as I Will Solicitors.
• Co-op Legal Services: National regulated provider of Wills, probate, and estate planning under the Co-op brand. Competes in the same general UK Will-writing market as I Will Solicitors' non-Islamic services, but at much larger scale.
• Boodle Hatfield: London-based private client and family law firm specialising in Wills, estate administration, and tax planning for high-net-worth individuals. Comparable on the upper end of I Will Solicitors' non-Islamic service lines.

Others

• Wahed Invest: Global halal/ethical digital investment platform that acquired I Will Solicitors in 2023. Parent company rather than a peer — included as the strategic acquirer integrating Will-writing into a broader Shariah-compliant financial platform.
• Amanah Finance Consultancy: Independent global Shariah advisory firm led by Mufti Faraz Adam, who certifies I Will Solicitors' Islamic Wills as Shariah-compliant. Ecosystem partner rather than direct competitor, but a credible specialist in the same Shariah-finance advisory space.
