Private client & estate planning specialists
Independent will writers and estate-planning solicitors across Glasgow and the wider Strathclyde area — Law Society of Scotland members and STEP-affiliated specialists.
85+ verified will writers · Updated daily
Glasgow's estate-planning market is dominated by solicitor practices given the closer integration of will writing into the Scottish legal profession, with a smaller cohort of independent fixed-fee will writers. Scottish law applies — meaning legal rights, the distinction between moveable and heritable estate, and a different probate process (confirmation rather than grant of probate).
Listings cover central Glasgow, the West End, Southside and the surrounding Strathclyde area including East Renfrewshire, East Dunbartonshire, North and South Lanarkshire. Many practices also handle estates that include property in the Highlands or Islands.
Glasgow practitioners can advise on the interaction between Scottish succession and UK-wide inheritance tax — the IHT rules and thresholds apply UK-wide, but the way an estate is administered differs north of the border.
We’re adding new Glasgow practices every week. The professionals below all accept clients across the Strathclyde area, including home visits.
