Choosing your executors - It is important to choose the people you appoint as executors with care, since their job involves a great deal of work and responsibility.

 

You should always approach anyone that you are thinking of appointing as an executor to see if they are happy to take on this duty, as there are long-term responsibilities involved, particularly if you include trusts in your Will. If someone is appointed who is not willing to be an executor, they have the right to refuse.

 

When considering who to appoint as executors of your Will, you will need to look for people who:

 

Are honest and trustworth. Are willing and able to take on the responsibility. Are fairly familiar with financial matter. Are reasonably likely to out-live you

 

Using a Scottish lawyer as an executor or at least asking a Scottish Lawyer to help alongside your chossen executor(s). Some people when making their Will decide to use professional executors. Doing so brings the advantage of having one's estate administered by an experienced expert, but also incurs fees which must be paid out of the estate.

 

Using our panel of Solicitors - With this option, your estate would be administered by someone with relevant legal experience and expertise. The solicitor's fees would be paid from your estate.
