I was put very much at ease, and everything was explained simply, and in language i could understand by Ray the senior consultant ,and any questions were also answered and explored in detail to my complete satisfaction. Having this done in my home was also an excellent way to do business, as oppose to attending an office etc . The price was second to none, therefore I would highly recommend the above to any one seeking their services. More...

Lucy Young
Wills and Estate Planning
Called back within minutes, was very helpful and the advice given was was clear and straightforward. Cost of the Will was extremely reasonable and no hidden costs. Highly recommend.
Nancy Stewart Nelson
Wills and Estate Planning
I have an uncomplicated situation, which requires a simple, straightforward will. This was drafted quickly, and witnessed by the solicitor. Easy, stress free process, but the storage fee was not alluded to until afterwards. This should be discussed upfront along with the fee so clients are made aware of this extra cost. My will in England was stored for free, so this came as an unexpected cost when I moved back to Scotland. More...

Ideally consultations are carried out face-to-face where I can discuss all our services. Understandably COVID rules have restricted such meetings. When taking instructions remotely I tend to concentrate on the core subject, Wills or Power of Attorneys for example, to get document drafted timeously, then discuss associated services later. It has not worked well in this case and I shall contact the client to apologise and resolve. We do have a storage service with an annual fee payable that includes free reviews and re-writes, but it is not mandatory.

Wills & Estate Planning
It is hard to think about a future we may not be around to see but being prepared can ensure your wishes are fulfilled and your loved ones are taken care of. Whether you wish to rewrite your will or are organising one for the first time, Caledonia Will Services can provide advice on different types of wills and estate planning available.
* A standard will
* Discretionary trust will
* Inheritance tax planning will
* Will ‘health check’
* Property trust will
Power Of Attorney
Nobody likes to think that things could one day take a turn for the worst but planning for the unexpected could protect your loved ones and your assets if an emergency should occur. Caledonia Will Services can help you make the right choice when selecting a power of attorney and then take care of all the formalities.
Without a power of attorney in place, the alternative process is guardianship, which can be distressing for loved ones, as it is a lengthy, expensive application that goes through the courts. We can take the stress out of organising power of attorney, which constitutes:
*Signing documents
*Handling financial affairs
*Arrange care
*Withdraw money
*Making decisions on welfare matters
Inheritance
Ensure that your wishes are carried out when you are no longer here by talking to Caledonia Will Services about our inheritance solutions. We can offer unbiased, honest advice about the best options to suit your needs and take care of all the documentation and formalities once you have decided on a course of action.
The variety of inheritance services we offer means that you and your family can be covered into your retirement and beyond with minimal stress. When the time comes you can count on us to distribute your assets according to your wishes and assist your family with any additional affairs. We can help with:
*Inheritance tax planning
*Long term care solutions
*Continuing and welfare power of attorney
*Living will (advanced medical directive)
*Executor services
*Pre-paid funeral plans
Trusts
There are many reasons why people decide to create a trust. Whether because of personal or business motivations, Caledonia Will Services can advise on the most suitable trust and handle all the paperwork. We offer objective, honest advice and aim to keep the process simple and hassle-free. These are just a few of the trusts we can set-up in order to protect your assets and make sure they reach the right people.
