You can write your own Will, this is generally not advisable as there are various legal formalities that must be followed to ensure that the Will is valid. Without an expert Scottish lawyer and they guarantees that they provide, there is a risk that you or another unqualified online will writer could make a mistake that could cause problems for your family and friends after your death. If you are going to take the time to have a Will in place you must have the piece of mind to know that yopur loved ones are protected.

 

Here are a few of the points to consider when deciding what to include in your Will. Who do you want to leave your assets to when you die? How do you want to divide your property between your loved ones, friends or favourite charities? Are there any conditions you want to attach to these gifts such as your children / grandchildren having to reach a certain age before they inherit their share of your estate? Do you wish to establish a trust? Trusts provide a way of providing for children under 18 as well as reducing inheritance tax Do you have any particular wishes for your funeral? Do you want to be buried or cremated Who do you wish to appoint as legal guardian for your children?

 

What Happens If I Die Without Making a Will? If you live in Scotland and die without a legally valid Will your loved one will require to seek court approval before they can manage your affairs. If you have no living family members, all your property and possessions will go to the Crown. Unfortunatley this proicess with take several months to finalise and shall cost a significant amount of money, as all court actions do. By making a Will you can specify your wishes.

 

A Will is one of the most important legal documents you will ever sign. If you die without a valid Will your loved ones will require to undertake significant legal proceedings to sort matters out. This is not in the best interests of anyone. Making a Will clarifies your wishes and enables you to give your loved ones financial protection after you die. If you are a couple with similar wishes you may want to make Mirror Wills, which are essentially identical Wills, with each person leaving their assets to the same beneficiaries in each Will.
