Deborah Wise
Deborah is a professional Will writer and estate planner, a former solicitor and a full member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP).
She has over 20 years’ experience working in the private client field, specialising in Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, estate planning, Inheritance Tax and Probate.
Deborah qualified as a solicitor in 2006 and spent many years working for leading law firms in Cheshire before leaving private practice in 2018 to establish Deborah Wise Wills Ltd.
Her aim has always been to make Wills and estate planning easier to understand, more accessible and less intimidating.
In May 2025, Deborah began placing much greater emphasis on developing her online presence. She is now well known across TikTok, Instagram and Facebook under the social media name That Wills Lady, where she regularly shares educational content about Wills, Inheritance Tax, Probate, care fees and estate planning.
Her audience has grown rapidly and she now has over 100,000 followers across the three platforms.
Alongside her educational content, Deborah has developed a range of digital guides, an Inheritance Tax master class and online resources designed to help people understand these subjects clearly and, where appropriate, give them the confidence to deal with matters themselves.

Deborah continues to offer a limited number of private appointments for Wills, Probate and estate planning, which can be booked HERE.
Deborah also works alongside two colleagues whom she first met over 20 years ago at the College of Law.

She says "I feel like I am making a real difference and that gives me a lot of satisfaction."

"Deborah has a lovely bedside manner and was able to put my anxious elderly mum at ease.Â
She explained matters in a most comprehensive way, and nothing was too much trouble for her."
"We have been so impressed with Sarah’s patience and guidance throughout the whole process. She explained everything to us (sometimes more than once if we didn’t quite grasp it the first time!).
We have been wanting to make our Wills for some time but kept putting it off for one reason or another. Going to a solicitors' office always felt quite daunting. To find someone like Sarah who came into our home and put us at ease straight away was a blessing.
We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her."
"I would always recommend your service as Catherine always showed compassion and professionalism during our time creating such important personal documents."
