WILLS AND ESTATES

Will Drafting

What do I have to do when a relative dies?

The law of succession in Scotland says what happens to someone’s property when they die. 

Your responsibilities in dealing with the property and possessions of a loved one (their estate) will depend on whether or not there is a Will and on the value of their estate. 

You should phone our offices to arrange to speak to our experienced estates solicitors, John Stirling, Paul Gostelow or Gillian Baker to obtain independent legal advice before doing anything.

For a basic guide on what can be involved in dealing with the estate of a loved one you can read more information at the links below.  This rough guide is not intended as complete legal advice.

Client View
"My husband dealt with all the finances so when he died I really didn’t know what to do. I needed everything sorted out. I needed someone I could trust. I felt a weight off my shoulders after my first appointment with Gillian."
