Print, Sign, and Witness
A will is just a piece of paper until it is properly executed. We provide clear, detailed instructions with your PDF on exactly how to make it legally binding under the Requirements of Writing (Scotland) Act 1995.
To create a self-proving will (the strongest form, easily accepted for Confirmation), you must:
- Sign your usual signature at the foot of every single page of the document (our PDF already includes dedicated signature lines on every page).
- On the final page, complete the full Testing Clause in the presence of (or with acknowledgement to) one witness aged 16 or over.
- The witness then signs the last page and provides their full name and address.
Witness recommendation: Choose an independent adult who is not a beneficiary under the will (nor the spouse/civil partner of a beneficiary). While Scottish law allows a beneficiary to witness without invalidating the will or their inheritance, using an independent witness is best practice and avoids any possible complications during Confirmation.
Your PDF includes everything you need, signature lines on every page plus the full attestation clause quoting the 1995 Act.
What if I need to make changes later?
Life changes, and your will should change with it. If you get married, have another child, or just change your mind, you can log back into your account at any time.
You can edit your existing will, which will generate a new version. You then simply print and sign the new version, and destroy the old one.
