OUR SERVICES
We provide legal assistance across a broad range of services, but here are some of the core areas we focus on:
WILL WRITING
It’s not a daunting as it sounds. We can create your Will (or update your existing Will) to ensure your wishes are carried-out when you’re no longer around. If you don’t have a Will, the laws of Scotland will decide who will inherit your assets, and it can also cost a substantial amount of money to appoint someone to deal with the administration of your estate without a Will.
CONFIRMATION / PROBATE SCOTLAND
Dealing with bereavement is difficult enough without the extra burden of complying with the legal necessities to unlock the estate assets and settle all debts and taxes. We can shoulder this burden on your behalf – completing all the necessary paperwork and administering the estate in accordance with the Scottish legal system and UK tax regimes.
POWER OF ATTORNEY
A power of attorney allows you to nominate a person (or persons) to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to make these decisions yourself. Many people think that if something happens to them in the future and they can’t make their own decisions, their family or friends can simply step into their shoes. This is not the case. We would advise everyone regardless of age – to create...
LIVING WILL / ADVANCE DIRECTIVE
Despite its name, a living will is entirely different from a Will. This is a document that lets you state your wishes for end-of-life medical care, in case you become unable to communicate your decisions. A living will is primarily concerned with ensuring that you are comfortable, and that your attending doctors and carers are made aware of your wishes.
TRUST ADVICE & CREATION
We can help you put everything in place If you are looking to put your cash or assets into a trust – during your lifetime or after your death. Trusts are often regarded as being complicated and confusing, but there are many good reasons to create a trust in the first place.
CARE HOME PLANNING
If you’re worried about the effect of going into residential care in the future, we will provide you with everything you need to know about the treatment of your assets and capital when applying for care. There are plenty of financial pitfalls in this environment, and we can give you the most up-to-date advice to ensure you can plan your future with confidence.
