Exit State writes wills for England and Wales. It does not write wills for Scotland, and we would rather tell you that here than after you had paid.
Succession in Scotland runs on the Requirements of Writing (Scotland) Act 1995 and the Succession (Scotland) Act 1964. Our document is drafted to the Wills Act 1837 as it applies in England and Wales. Those are different bodies of law, and a will drafted for one is not automatically valid in the other.
If you are domiciled in Scotland, use a solicitor there.
A Scottish will needs one witness, not two. The witness watches you sign and then signs themselves.
You subscribe every sheet of the will, not only the last one.
Your children and your spouse or civil partner have legal rights over your moveable estate — money, shares, possessions — that a will cannot take away from them. In England and Wales nothing works like that.
The document that lets your executor deal with the estate is called confirmation, and it is granted by the sheriff court rather than the Probate Service.

Living in Dundee is not the same thing as being domiciled in Scotland, and domicile is what decides which law applies to your will. If yours is England or Wales — and you are not sure, a solicitor can tell you — we can help.
