Wills

It is a simple fact; every person aged 16 and over in Scotland ought to have a Will. In reality, many of us do not give it any thought until we marry, buy a house or have children.  Even when you have a Will, it is important to keep it up to date, as it simplifies matters for your loved ones in the event of your death and reduces the likelihood of family disputes.

If you do not have a Will, there are fixed rules to determine who takes what amongst husbands/wives/children or other relatives, which may mean that your estate is not divided in the way you would have chosen.

Our experienced team works with a range of clients in dealing with their personal affairs. Many Wills are straightforward and simple to prepare;  others can be complex.  We have extensive experience in all types of Wills and can advise on the setting up of trusts, providing for Inheritance Tax and whether you should consider a Power of Attorney.
