Making a Will is important.  By making a Will, you can be sure that your money and possessions will be dealt with as you wish after your death.  In some cases, if you do not leave a Will, your loved ones could lose out.

To make a Will, please contact us.  We will give you advice on what to do with your “estate” – that is, your money and other assets – and draw up a Will for you.

When someone dies, his or her executor will be responsible for dealing with any money or assets in the estate.  The Will usually names the executor or executors.  If there is no Will, the executor will need advice and assistance from a solicitor.  At Carrick Robb we have years of experience in helping executors and loved ones to cope and to ensure that the estate of the deceased is wound up as smoothly as possible.

Improvements in lifestyle and health care mean that we have a much higher life expectancy than previous generations.  Along with this, however, is a rise in age-related illnesses such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.  In Scotland, the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 provides a range of options to address the problems of those who are incapacitated through illness, accident or indeed any other cause.  These options include:

Power of attorney

Guardianship

Access to funds

Intervention orders

A Power of Attorney allows you to decide who should have control of your affairs if you become ill or incapacitated.  Otherwise, your relatives may need to petition the court to be appointed your guardian or for an order to allow them to look after your affairs.

If we can be of assistance in relation to any of these matters, please contact us.  We will be happy to have an initial meeting with you free of charge to advise you on your options and on what is involved.
