Wills

Under Scots law, everyone aged 12 and over can make a Will, and there are many reasons for making one.

The thought of having a Will drawn up can be difficult, no matter your age or circumstance.

While it may not seem like a pressing matter, making a Will can save your loved ones a lot of heartache when you pass away. It helps them understand what you would like to happen to your assets and who you want to inherit your property, savings, and possessions.

Make sure your wishes are protected

It’s important to speak to the experts. If your Will is not drafted by a solicitor or other professional, there is a chance that it’s not valid. At Fulton’s, we’ve been specialising in Will and Executry for over 50 years.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Why write a Will?

Making a Will is vital to ensure your wishes are carried out properly after your pass away. Although it can be difficult to think about, making a Will can ease the stress for your loved ones, and give you peace of mind.

Do you need a solicitor to write a Will?

Having a solicitor gives you support to navigate the legal process at what can be a difficult time. According to the law in Scotland, Wills need to be written in a specific way to be considered valid. This is where we come in. Our expert team will ensure that your instructions are clear, so that your loved ones are left with no uncertainty after you’re gone. After informing us of your wishes, we prepare the Will and take care of the paperwork for you. Wills also need to be signed by a witness.

What do I need to consider when writing a Will?

When making a Will, it’s important to think carefully about the Executor of your estate. An Executor is the person you name as decision-maker of your Will. They are in charge of distributing your assets and possessions to your beneficiaries. You should also consider who you’d like to be the beneficiaries of your estate, and any specific savings or possessions you’d like to leave to them.
