1. Why Perth & Kinross residents are choosing online Scottish wills

Three things drive the choice:

• Cost: Perth solicitor fees for a basic single will typically run £300 to £600+. ScottishWill is £99 (or £149 for a couple).
• Geography: Perth has solicitors. Highland Perthshire, Pitlochry, Aberfeldy, Crieff, Blairgowrie, has fewer, and getting to one often means a drive of an hour or more. Online removes that barrier.
• Scots-law-specific: ScottishWill is built only for Scots law. Every will we draft is for Perthshire and the rest of Scotland from the ground up.

2. How ScottishWill works for Perth & Kinross customers

Step 1: Answer the questions online. A guided form covers your family, your executors, your wishes, and any specific gifts. Most people finish in around ten minutes.

Step 2: We draft and review. Our team builds your Scots-law-specific Will Pack and a real person reviews it before delivery.

Step 3: Sign at home with one witness. Your reviewed Will Pack arrives within two business days. You print it, sign every page in front of one witness (over 16 and of sound mind), and the witness signs the final page. That is enough for a self-proving will under the Requirements of Writing (Scotland) Act 1995.

You then store the signed original somewhere safe. Your executors will use it after your death to apply for Confirmation, for Perth & Kinross residents, that is normally Perth Sheriff Court.

4. Is an online will legally valid in Perth & Kinross?

Yes. The law that governs Scottish will validity is the Requirements of Writing (Scotland) Act 1995, which applies across the whole of Scotland, Perth & Kinross included.

A Scottish will is valid under the 1995 Act if it is in writing, subscribed (signed) by you on every sheet, and signed by one witness who is over 16 and of sound mind. That witness signature creates the legal presumption that you did sign, making the will self-proving.

For more on this, see our online wills validity guide.

5. When you should still see a Perth solicitor

If your situation includes any of the following, an online service is not the right answer.

• Significant overseas assets: property abroad, foreign pensions, or cross-border investments.
• Complex trust arrangements: trusts for disabled beneficiaries, second-marriage protections, business succession.
• Substantial inheritance tax planning.
• Disputed family situations: estranged children, contested marriages, blended families with potential challenges.
• Agricultural succession: if your estate includes a working farm with multi-generational succession plans, complex tenancies, or specific bequest structures, see a solicitor.
• Sporting estates or land with shooting / fishing rights: these often involve specific clauses an online service cannot draft properly.
