Our free service is designed for straightforward situations. If your affairs are more complicated, getting professional advice from a qualified Scottish solicitor is the safest way to protect your assets and your family.
When do you need a solicitor?
We strongly recommend consulting a solicitor if you answer "yes" to any of the following:
- Do you own a business, a farm, or shares in a private company?
- Do you own property outside the UK?
- Do you want to set up a trust (e.g., to protect assets from care home fees, or to provide for a disabled relative)?
- Is your estate likely to be subject to Inheritance Tax?
- Do you have children from a previous marriage and want to ensure they are protected alongside your current spouse?
- Are you concerned that someone might try to challenge or contest your will after you die?

Request a ConsultationNote: Solicitor firms pay a flat fee to be on this panel. That fee is currently free. We will review it as the site grows. You choose one firm, or up to three local firms (in the same city or town, or the closest). We only send your details to the firms you pick. They may then contact you. You decide who, if anyone, to instruct.
