Senior Associate Solicitor
Home / People / Ann Coutts

I qualified as a solicitor in 2004 and am now a Senior Associate in the Wills & Estates team at Thompson Smith and Puxon. With 19 years of experience specialising in Private Client law, I focus on supporting high-net-worth clients with lifetime tax planning and inheritance tax planning. My work involves managing trusts and drafting bespoke Wills tailored to meet each client’s unique needs.

In addition to these areas, I provide comprehensive assistance with all aspects of estate administration, handling estates of all types, including cases of intestacy. I also offer guidance on lasting powers of attorney and Court of Protection applications.

I am a full member of STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) and an affiliated member of The Association of Lifetime Lawyers. I have also completed the STEP Advanced Certificate in Will Preparation. As a Dementia Friend and local champion of the Essex Community Foundation, I am committed to making a positive impact both professionally and within the community.
