On 1st April 2022, a new register will open, the RCI, publicising details of people holding a controlling interest in land in Scotland. The purpose of the Register of Controlled Interests (RCI) is to hold a record of a person or persons that can influence decisions concerning ownership of land in Scotland, on a publicly accessible database.

Due to continued growth, we are seeking to recruit a qualified Conveyancing Solicitor and an experienced Conveyancing Paralegal to join our busy property team, which can based in any of our offices.

To celebrate the opening of our new office, Macnabs in Bridge of Allan are taking part in Free Wills Month in March. It is simple – you make an appointment, we make your Will and instead of paying a fee, you leave a legacy to the charities involved. An up to date Will written by a solicitor ensures your wishes are respected, and it also avoids difficult decisions and legal complications for your loved ones. Free Wills Month is available to members of the public aged 55 or over, and allows you to provide for family and friends and leave a gift to your chosen charities too.

After a couple of years where foreign holidays were pretty much off limits, the travel industry is currently experiencing a slight revival with people jetting off on holiday for some much-needed rest and relaxation. And for many, this involves taking to the slopes to indulge in fresh powder skiing or snowboarding. Skiing, although relaxing and fun, can also be considered an extreme sport, with accidents on the slopes commonplace due to skiers hitting rocks, trees or indeed colliding with other people. If you are planning a ski holiday, as well as getting the right equipment and understanding proper ski techniques and chair lift etiquette, it is important to stay safe and plan for any mishaps.
