If clients want to ensure that their assets are left to the person or people of their choosing, it is imperative that they make a Will. If there is no Will, application has to be made to the Court for the appointment of an Executor and this leads to delay and expenses.

Did you know that if you do not leave a Will and your house is valued at over £300,000 your spouse will not be entitled to the property? The Scottish Law Commission may be reviewing the law on intestate succession but for peace of mind putting a Will in place now will ensure your assets pass to the people to whom you wish. A Will can also minimise or even eliminate inheritance tax (currently charged at 40% on estates over £325,000).

We offer wills designed to: -

  Minimise inheritance tax
  Preserve assets for future generations
  Hold assets until your children reach maturity
  Hold assets for beneficiaries lacking mental capacity
  Provide guardians for your children should something happen to both of you
