Claire Curtis Wills

I am grateful to Claire for her help in arranging the trust and letter of wishes – she is the only solicitor ever to have explained that to me.

Department & Location: Private Client, Trowbridge, Wills, Trusts & Probate

As a Partner and Solicitor specialising in Wills, Trusts and Probate, I help my clients feel reassured and supported when planning for the future and protecting what matters most.

I qualified in 2009 with an LLB Hons Law and French from Cardiff University, a Licence de Droit from Université de Nantes and an LPC from the University of the West of England. I am also a STEP member and have completed several professional development courses in private client law.

My practice areas include:


  • Wills and Estate Planning – from straightforward Wills to complex taxable Estates.

  • Inheritance Tax and Trusts

  • Lasting Powers of Attorney – for property & financial affairs and health & welfare decisions.

  • Court of Protection – supporting clients and families through deputyship and best interest matters.

  • Estates – administration of Grants of Probate and ongoing estate management.

I take a calm, practical and understanding approach to all matters. I ensure my clients feel confident throughout what can often be a very difficult time in their lives.

Examples of my work:


  • Assisted an elderly client over a number of years making updates to their Will and then administering their estate to ensure their wishes were carried out.

  • Dealt with a substantial estate with a homemade Will. This required complex tax calculations to correctly divide the estate between among family, friends and charities.

  • Supported a client with complex medical needs throughout the Will making process.  I took the time to ensure they could give clear instructions and fully understood the process, so their wishes could be carried out.

Outside of work I spend my time chasing around after my young family. I enjoy getting away and seeing new places whether on holiday or a day out at the weekend. I also like catching up with friends and family over some good food.
