Wills, Trusts & Probate

At Amoako Adjei Law Consult, we help individuals and families across Ghana protect their legacy through strategic estate planning, trust creation, and efficient probate administration. Whether you’re planning for the future or managing the estate of a loved one, our lawyers offer reliable, compassionate guidance every step of the way.

Will Drafting & Estate Planning

A legally sound will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Without one, your estate may be divided according to state rules—not your intentions.

Our estate planning services include:

  • Drafting clear and enforceable wills

  • Updating existing wills in line with life changes

  • Advising on guardianship for minors

  • Structuring asset distribution to minimize disputes

  • Creating estate plans to reduce tax exposure

We assist clients with:

  • Setting up revocable and irrevocable trusts

  • Trusts for children, dependents with special needs, or charitable causes

  • Drafting trust deeds and appointing trustees

  • Advising on the legal and tax implications of trusts

  • Reviewing and amending existing trusts

Probate Administration

When someone passes away, their estate must go through probate—the legal process of validating the will and distributing assets. We represent executors, administrators, and beneficiaries through every step.

Our probate services include:

  • Filing probate applications and securing grants

  • Interpreting wills and identifying beneficiaries

  • Managing estate assets and paying liabilities

  • Resolving disputes between heirs or with third parties

  • Advising on intestate succession (when no will exists)

We help clients:

  • Challenge or defend the validity of a will

  • Handle claims of undue influence or fraud

  • Advise on family provision claims

  • Negotiate settlements among heirs

  • Represent parties in probate litigation

Guardianship & Estate Protection

We assist clients with long-term planning that protects vulnerable family members and future generations.

This includes:

  • Appointing guardians for minors or dependents
