Navigating a civil dispute can be complex, costly, and time-consuming. But at Waddell & Mackintosh, our solicitors are committed to resolving these matters quickly and cost-effectively, securing the best outcome for you. We begin with an immediate, comprehensive analysis of your case, providing concise, tactical advice aimed at negotiating from a position of strength. We proactively explore all available Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods such as mediation, to avoid court where possible. However when litigation is required, we are highly skilled at conducting complex actions across all Scottish courts, from Sheriff Courts to the Court of Session.

We routinely handle a broad range of civil matters, everything from Divorce to Road Traffic. Crucially, we recognise the client's need for financial clarity, we offer clear advice on budget at the outset, ensuring you are fully informed and confident to make strategic decisions that safeguard your legal and financial interests throughout the entire process.

A Power of Attorney (POA) is the most proactive step you can take to ensure you’ll be properly looked after in the event you can no longer look after yourself. By doing a POA you grant a trusted individual the ability to manage your finances and personal welfare on your behalf.

The key benefit of having a POA in place before you need it, is that you are able to choose who will look after you and how you’ll be looked after. Without a POA, it could take expensive and stressful sheriff court actions for someone to be able to make decisions on your behalf. Whereas by having a POA in place, you ensure key decisions are made exactly according to your wishes. 

Our expert solicitors specialise in drafting the right POA for your specific needs and providing the professional guidance required to select a reliable Attorney. By using Waddell & Mackintosh, you gain the confidence that this important legal document is executed properly and in full compliance with the ‘Adults With Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000’, securing your interests for when you need it most.

Dealing with the estate of a deceased loved one is a difficult and emotional experience. This is often complicated by shareholder services and banks and courts being difficult to deal with. Being an Executor and winding up an estate also comes with significant legal liabilities and as such requires specialist advice and support. 

In order to avoid personal liability for any debts or claims made against the estate, Executors must ensure the estate is not distributed within the six-month statutory period. Furthermore, all Inheritance Tax must be settled before Confirmation can be granted, which is the necessary legal authority from the Sheriff Court. 

Our highly experienced team of solicitors provide the expert advice and support you need to navigate every aspect of these complex procedures. We ensure the estate is administered efficiently and in full compliance with the law, guiding you through this difficult time with professionalism and understanding.

A Will is the single most cost-effective way to protect your interests and provide peace of mind for your loved ones. Without one, your estate faces frustrating delays, increased legal and court costs, and is distributed strictly by the law; ‘Succession (Scotland) Act 1964’. This means that the law decides who inherits, rather than you.

By instructing Waddell & Mackintosh to write your Will, you regain control. You appoint your desired executors, specify exactly who inherits your assets and streamline the entire executry process. Our experienced solicitors are passionate about ensuring every client secures this essential protection and can write any Will to suit your needs whatever they may be.
