Making a Will in Scotland
Making a valid and comprehensive Will is very important if we want to have control over what happens to our property when we die. If someone dies without a Will, known as intestacy, their estate is distributed according to a specific set of strict rules under the Scots law of succession. These intestacy rules give spouses and dependants specific prior and legal rights that might not align with what we intend. Dying without a Will also raises the risk of costly legal disputes about the way property should be distributed between those who survive us.
Our specialist private client team regularly assist clients make Wills that help to avoid complex issues in the future. As expert drafters and reviewers of Wills, we will ensure that your Will is valid and fully comprehensive to give you peace of mind that your wishes will be implemented.
Establishing a Trust in Scotland
Another way to maintain control over how your assets are managed and used is by establishing a Trust, where you transfer your property to trustees for a specified purpose. Trusts are commonly used to provide support for a family member, contribute to the cost of educating future generations or for the benefit of a particular charitable purpose. At Hunter & Robertson, we can help you set up a Trust that protects your assets and reflects your wishes.
