We handle all aspects of residential property transactions, from initial offers to completion. Our solicitors ensure legal compliance, manage title checks, and coordinate with mortgage providers. Clients benefit from our dual expertise as both solicitors and estate agents, streamlining the buying and selling process while maintaining transparency and local market knowledge.
Will Writing Services
Our solicitors draft legally binding wills tailored to individual circumstances. We provide guidance on inheritance tax, guardianship arrangements, and estate distribution. Clients receive clear advice on updating wills following life changes, ensuring their wishes are documented and legally enforceable while maintaining confidentiality.
Powers of Attorney
We prepare and register continuing and welfare powers of attorney under Scottish law. Our services include explaining different power types, completing documentation, and advising on appointment responsibilities. Clients gain peace of mind knowing their affairs can be managed by trusted representatives if mental capacity is lost.

We assist executors with probate applications, asset valuation, and estate distribution. Our support includes death registration, funeral arrangements, and tax calculations. Clients receive compassionate guidance through complex legal processes during difficult times, ensuring compliance with Scottish inheritance laws and court requirements.
