Wills

Statistics show that as many as 60% of Scots die without making a Will.

At Barnetts, we believe everyone should take advice on the preparation of a Will for these reasons :

• You and your family will find that making a Will gives you peace of mind.
• If you have under age children then you have to set out clearly your wishes for them.
• Over the years we have seen many, many 'home made' / DIY Wills and the majority of these contain mistakes some of which make the Will invalid.
• The public seem to believe that making a Will takes a lot of time, effort and money. In reality most family Wills can be instructed, sometimes even by telephone, but mostly after a ten minute meeting and the cost through Barnetts is modest.
• A Will allows you to choose the person you trust to adminster your affairs after your death by
  appointing that person as your Executor
• Some people think that if they do not leave a Will they know who their beneficiary will be,
  but more often than not they have misunderstood the Law. To assist in this area, read the
  Scottish Office pamphlet which you may find helpful.
