Making a will is one of those "grown up" jobs that never seems to be a priority - something you'll get round to at some point. Give yourself a pat on the back if you have made a will, but make sure that you keep it up to date. It is so important that you review what your will says every so often, so that it keeps abreast of changes in your life. In short, if you have a significant life change - update your will! 

Macnabs are delighted to once again be taking part in this year’s annual Will Aid fundraising event throughout November. It is simple – you make an appointment, we make your Will and instead of paying a fee you make a donation to the Will Aid charity.  There are many important reasons why people should have a will, especially when children under the age of 16 are involved. A will can be used to officially name a guardian for your children who would be responsible for looking after them until adulthood, as well as detailing other wishes for your estate. If both parents passed away without naming a guardian, it would be left up to the courts to appoint one. While they would strive to make the best decision for your children, their choice may not reflect your wishes.

Being a private landlord can be a great way of providing an extra stream of income, however it is not always straightforward. Not only is managing a property time consuming, but there is a lot of red tape to deal with, and legislation and tax reliefs are constantly changing.

Macnabs is one of the leading firms of solicitors in Perthshire and Tayside. Due to continued growth, we are seeking to recruit an experienced secretary to strengthen our busy family team in Perth.
