Being shortlisted represents a high standard of achievement and places SLS Wills and More alongside respected names from across the sector.

Innovation with a Personal Touch

While awards are welcome, our focus has always remained the same: providing clear, compassionate and professional advice to families across Kent.

Estate planning is about more than paperwork. It is about protecting loved ones, reducing uncertainty, and ensuring wishes are properly recorded and legally sound.

Our nominations for Innovative Marketing and Best Social Media recognise the work we have done to educate and inform the public about the importance of Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney, making complex topics accessible and understandable.

Proud to Represent Kent

As a locally based business in Aylesham, we are proud to serve clients across Dover, Canterbury, Deal and the surrounding areas.

To see our work recognised on a national stage is both humbling and rewarding. We are grateful to our clients and professional connections for the trust and support that has made this possible.

If you would like advice on Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, or wider estate planning in England and Wales, we would be pleased to help.
