AHJ Wills & Estates is a business based in one of Sheffields most historical areas Kelham Island. The area is synonymous with cutlery works, museums, breweries, music studios and now will writing. We specialise in providing clients with will writing, lasting power of attorney and estate planning services.

The team have more than 50 years combined experience of helping assist clients with their hard earned wealth, and ensuring this is passed to their nominated beneficiaries. In this time we have written many wills and referred work to solicitors. We have received constant feedback from clients that solicitors don’t seem interested in the work, getting a solicitor is too expensive to help me with my will. I am very passionate about the service and advice that I provide to clients so on the back of this feedback AHJ Wills & Estates was born.

We will conduct face to face meetings to ensure that what can be a very daunting area to discuss for a lot of people is made simple, understandable and provide peace of mind to clients.

We adhere to the highest of standards of will writing and this is demonstrated by our membership of The Society of Will Writers.
