It is important to have a valid will in place if you want your property divided according to your wishes when you die. If you die without a Will, then your estate would be distributed in accordance with the Scots Law of Succession.  

Other benefits to having a Will include:-

• Avoiding disagreements between family members by ensuring your wishes are clear and can be followed. 
• Ensuring vulnerable family members can be looked after. Provision can be made for the care of children or other dependents in your will.
• You can leave particular items of sentimental or financial value to specific people.
• It will also save time and money for family members than if you were to die without a valid Will.
