I am a lawyer and was admitted to The Law Society of Scotland in 1985.
After graduating from Aberdeen University, I undertook my traineeship in Edinburgh and Crieff. I then worked dealing with Private Clients at McLean and Stewart, Dunblane where I spend 7 happy years.
I was asked by The Royal Bank of Scotland plc to head up their new Will Writing Department in Edinburgh. I jumped at the chance and stayed with them until my family came along.
Since returning to work I have been with several legal firms and over the last four years I have been tutoring part-time in the Law Department at Stirling University. Most recently delivering the Trust and Succession course.
Setting up this business allows me to continue with my tutoring and family commitments.
I have very close personal experience of the pain and difficulties caused by loved ones avoiding the issue of writing a will. I felt strongly that we should all take a little time to get things in writing and really take care of our family.
I have the detailed knowledge of how the law works in this area and can simplify the process for you; it can be a daunting thought but I can help and make it easy for you.
Julia made the process of making a fuss-free. She managed to distill the essence of what was required efficiently and clearly. As for the "legalise" language, she interpreted that for me and explained the concepts in a far more comprehensible way. She was kind, engaging and thoughtful and didn't make me fell stupid!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Having someone professional, with years of experience and knowledge to guide and advise you through this process is absolutely invaluable. She will know and think of things you were perhaps not aware of, which really helps to focus your thoughts.”

Julia was a delight to work with, bringing a personal and thorough approach to the process of creating a will. She was engaging, pleasantly efficient and comprehensive in her thinking. A very painless experience and I'm not sure why I hadn't done it earlier!

My husband and I have been meaning to do a will for a long time and were delighted with how professional and timely the service was that we received. Julia guided us through the process which made it very easy for us to understand and complete our wills. She also dealt with the writing of our will very quickly.
