Independent Scottish law firm Thorntons has been appointed by the Judicial Factor to manage the wills, property titles and powers of attorney previously held by Brunton Miller, following the closure of the Glasgow and Helensburgh-based law practice in October 2025.
Thorntons will also assume responsibility for ongoing executry work.
As one of Scotland’s largest full-service legal firms, Thorntons has an extensive private client practice, with specialist expertise in wills, trusts, powers of attorney, executry administration and succession planning.
The firm has emphasised its commitment to safeguarding transferred files.
Audrey Dishington, Head of Private Client at Thorntons, said:
“Ensuring security for individuals’ most important legal documents is essential. We understand that the closure of a long‑standing firm can cause uncertainty, and our priority is to provide reassurance, clarity, and a smooth transition for all affected clients.”
Individuals affected by the closure of Brunton Miller are encouraged to contact Thorntons’ dedicated client services team on 0330 236 7301 or at [email protected].
