What is the Wills & Inheritance service?

A Shari'ah-compliant will is one of the most important acts of foresight a Muslim can undertake — ensuring wealth passes exactly as Allah has ordained and sparing loved ones avoidable hardship.

IFA helps you put a properly constituted Islamic will in place — and, where it helps protect your estate, set up trusts alongside it. We also guide you through calculating inheritance shares and resolving any questions or disagreements that arise in the administration of an estate.
