The British Wills and Probate Awards, known as the ‘Oscars of the Probate World’ is back with a new Headline Sponsor for the 2025 event. Arken.legal have been confirmed as the Headline Sponsor for the 2025 awards which will be hosted in Manchester on 9th October 2025.
Entries open today (4th April 2025) for the awards, which is now in its 8th year, recognising and celebrating the very best the wills, probate, tax, trusts and estate planning community has to offer. Uniquely the awards champions both the regulated and unregulated legal services sectors with categories for law firms, probate providers, and will writers alongside individual excellence awards, and supplier categories.
Arken.legal return as Headline having been part of the inaugural years of the awards programme in 2018. In 2018 The British Wills and Probate Awards welcomed 200 people to Ardencote Manor in Warwickshire and subsequently 300 to The Belfry, near Birmingham in 2019. In 2024 the awards hosted over 450 practitioners and professionals in Manchester with 2025 set to be even bigger and better than before.
“Arken.legal is proud to be the Headline Sponsor of the 2025 British Wills and Probate Awards – the “Oscars of the Wills and Probate World.”
said Arken Group CEO Dave Newick
“Having played a key role in putting these prestigious awards on the map since their inception in 2018, we’ve watched them evolve into the outstanding event they are today and we felt it was the perfect time to step back in as Headline Sponsor. Our commitment to innovation aligns perfectly with the awards’ celebration of excellence in the industry.”
“We’ve always been proud of our association with this event and look forward to partnering with Today’s Media once again to elevate the awards on 9th October in Manchester. See you there!”
