A will is a crucial legal document that outlines an individual’s wishes concerning the distribution of their property and assets after their death. In Scotland, this document is of paramount importance due to specific Scottish laws like ‘Legal Rights’. This law ensures that a spouse or children cannot be fully disinherited. Thus, even when a will excludes them, they are still entitled to a portion of the deceased’s ‘movable’ estate. Therefore, a will in Scotland provides a legal framework for the management and allocation of an individual’s estate, ensuring a fair and intended distribution.
