About Cotswold Wills and Estates
A personal, independent service built around your family.
Hello, I'm Lee Portlock
I founded Cotswold Wills and Estates with one simple belief: that putting your affairs in order shouldn't be daunting, confusing or impersonal. It should feel like a friendly conversation with someone who genuinely listens and takes the time to get things right.
When you choose Cotswold Wills and Estates, you deal with me directly — every single time. There's no call centre, no rotating team and no being passed from person to person. From our first chat to the moment your documents are signed, you'll have one familiar, trusted point of contact who understands you and your family.
I'm proud to be completely independent, which means the guidance I give is built entirely around what's right for you — never around selling you something you don't need. I'll always explain things in plain English, with no jargon, so you understand every decision you make.
Based in the heart of the Cotswolds, I'm lucky enough to help families right across Gloucestershire. Whether you'd prefer me to visit you at home, meet at a convenient local venue, or chat over a video call, I'll happily fit around you — including evenings and weekends.
