Bearsden, Milngavie and Bishopbriggs: the comfortable suburbs north of Glasgow.
Larger houses on plots, driveways, garages and gardens. Access is rarely the problem here and the day is decided by how much is in the loft and the garage — usually a great deal, because these are long-settled households.
Milngavie sits at the start of the West Highland Way and the streets around the centre get busy in season.
Confirmation, not probate
Scottish estates go through confirmation rather than probate. The document has a different name and a different shape, and an executor searching for English forms will not find what they need. It changes nothing about how we work: we invoice the executor, the solicitor or the estate, there is no deposit, and payment can come from the estate once it settles.
