What is a Discretionary Trust Will?

A Discretionary Trust Will is a way in which married couples can minimise or even eliminate the IHT liability simply by making and implementing a pair of correctly worded Wills - known as Discretionary Trust Wills and sometimes referred to as Nil-Rate Band Discretionary Trust Wills.
