Comprehensive Management

As your professional trustee we manage all aspects of trust administration, including compliance with the Trusts Act 2019 and an annual review of your trust. Our goal is to alleviate the administrative burden on you, allowing you to focus on what is important to you.

Personalised Service

We recognise that every trust is unique. Our approach is tailored to meet the specific needs and objectives of each trust, ensuring that your trust is managed in accordance with your wishes and the best interests of your beneficiaries.


As your professional trustee our services include:


  • Maintain an up-to-date register of Trustees, Beneficiaries and Trust Assets.
  • Complete an annual review of your trust.
  • Maintain a Trust Minute Book.
  • Access to your online Willis Trust Hub.
  • Provision of basic trust information to beneficiaries as required.

  • Maintain compliance obligations including completion of AML/CFT requirements as required  by other professionals.
  • Review and signing of annual Financial Accounts.

Willis Trust Hub

We will provide each Trustee, and any other relevant professionals, with access to an online hub for the Trust. This hub will contain all the core documents that the Trustees are required to retain, and ensure that Trustees have access to key trust information at any time.

How do we do this?

We will contact you annually with our checklist to ensure the Trust register is current and up to date and to enable us to complete our annual review. We will arrange for a meeting of all Trustees
