About Us
Focused. Specialist. Trusted.
At Wills, Tax & Trusts Ltd., we exist for one reason: to provide specialist estate and tax planning where the stakes are highest.
Since 2017, we've supported accountants, business owners, and high-net-worth families with the strategies and structures that protect wealth and preserve legacies.
What sets us apart is our focus. Unlike generalist firms, we work exclusively in estate, trust, and succession planning.
That means every solution we deliver is backed by specialist expertise, technical precision, and years of proven success with complex estates.

Our Approach
We believe planning should be proactive, precise, and personal. Every structure we design is tailored - from trusts and shareholder agreements to estate reviews and inheritance tax strategies.
Discretion, professionalism, and long-term results define how we work.
