Wills, Trusts & Estates
Everyone should have a Will these days!
Making a Will is the only way to ensure your wishes are carried out on your death. At Hill & Robb we carefully draft each Will to our client’s needs.
We will look at all relevant factors, including legal rights, rights for cohabitees and how to protect young children. If required, we can also discuss Inheritance Tax planning
If you wish to protect loved ones, you cannot rely on the law of intestacy (the rules which apply when someone dies without a legal Will). Therefore making a Will is the best way of making sure that your wishes are carried out.
Having a Will often makes it far simpler to deal with any administration required following a death. This can save money overall.
Protect your assets with Trusts
Trusts can be useful to protect assets, young children or vulnerable adults. Please contact us for more details.
Estate & Executry Solicitors
At Hill & Robb, following a client’s death, our team aim to deal with estate administration quickly and efficiently, and to make the process as stress free for the family as possible.
There is usually some administration required following a death in order to deal with the deceased’s financial affairs.
Each case is different but it is important to be aware of various legal rules (such as the legal rights of spouses and children) to ensure the administration is properly carried out. Otherwise an executor may find he or she has distributed the estate incorrectly.
Some estates (for example usually where a house is owned) will require Confirmation (Probate) to be obtained from the sheriff court. Most families use a solicitor to do this for them.
