Do I Need a Scottish Solicitor

The short answer is “no”. You are free to draft your own will without hiring a solicitor or legal advisor. If your situation is not a complicated one, and you simply want to make gifts, appoint guardians and executors etc under your will, then preparing your own will should not be very difficult provided that you have some good self-help materials to hand. However, if your situation is complex or is unusual in some way, you should, at the very least, consult a solicitor.

For those of you that feel confident enough to prepare your own legal documents, making a Will can be relatively straight forward. There are numerous self-help legal books on the market which can adequately help you make a Will. These books typically give you background information on Wills and examples of Wills.
