Planning your will
What to consider before speaking to a solicitor
A will records how you want your estate handled after your death. Preparing a few details in advance can make the first conversation more productive.
People to include
Consider executors, beneficiaries and guardians for children. A solicitor can explain each role and help avoid unclear or conflicting instructions.
Assets and wishes
Make a broad note of property, savings, investments, business interests and personal possessions, along with any particular gifts you want to discuss.
When to review it
Marriage, separation, a new child, a house move or a major financial change are sensible points to review an existing will.
Common questions
Wills in Scotland
What happens if I die without a will in Scotland?
Your estate is distributed under Scottish intestacy rules rather than solely according to your preferences. The outcome depends on your family and financial circumstances, so legal advice is important.
Can I write my own will?
A homemade will can create uncertainty if signing, wording or legal-rights issues are overlooked. A Scottish solicitor can prepare the document and explain how the rules apply to your estate.
How much does a will cost?
The fee depends on the complexity of your estate and whether you need related planning or mirror wills. Ask whether the quote includes meetings, drafting, revisions, signing guidance and storage.
